[BMR Genie]

Franco has been charged with commercial sexual exploitation and money laundering in the Dominican Republic, Juan Arturo Recio of ESPN Deportes reports.

Franco had initially been arrested Monday for failing to appear at a summons last week and now these new charges have officially been revealed. According to Recio, Franco will be under house arrest and prohibited from leaving the country. The 22-year-old will be presented for the first time before a judge on Friday.

Why with money laundering?

I just looked it up, looks like he allegedly tried to pay the minor's mom, that's why. I'm just curious why they use the term/charge of "money laundering". I thought money laundering was only to conceal the origin of their illicit funds.

I sure hope not. hopefully, they throw him and the momma in a DR prison and they never make it out. but you prob right money talks there and he prob finds a way to buy his way out.

He seems like a real lowlife the more you read about him. Tampa Bay doesn’t need him they’re loaded.

Josh Giddey Will Not Face Charges for Alleged Relationship With Minor

Similar situation but a different outcome. Guess, because the mom of the minor did not ask for money and no evidence on socmed posted.
