Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was charged with illegal possession of a firearm Sunday as he continues to stand trial on charges of sexual abuse, according to multiple reports.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, already on trial for charges including sexual abuse of a minor, was hit with an additional charge of illegal possession of a handgun on Sunday, according to prosecutors in the Dominican Republic.

The attorney for Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco says he will ask the court to exonerate his client of all charges in a sexual abuse case involving a girl who was 14 years old at the time of the alleged crimes.
