Wander Franco was released from jail this week on a bond valued at $34,000 USD, and has been ordered to make monthly appearances before the court for the next six months as prosecutors continue their investigation into an alleged inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old.
According to the Associated Press, Franco’s release came with a narrowing of the allegations against him. Although he is accused of paying thousands of dollars and a vehicle to the minor’s mother to obtain consent for his alleged relationship, charges of commercial and sexual exploitation and money laundering were dropped by the court on Tuesday following the judge’s review of the evidence.
