    ST. PETERSBURG — Prosecutors in the Dominican Republic have formally charged Rays shortstop Wander Franco with sexual abuse and sexual exploitation against a minor, ESPN reported late Tuesday night.

    Prosecutors for six months were working with a July 5 deadline to file formal charges. When they didn’t file Friday, under the Dominican legal process they were given another 10 days from the time they were notified by the court.

    According to a report from ESPN’s Juan Arturo Recio, they did that on Tuesday.

    Franco has been under investigation by Dominican authorities since shortly after social media posts on Aug.
