It would be nice if there was some possibility of a potential of innocence before guilt is determined. We saw what happened to Jalen Kitna for sharing an image of a girl he had no reason to believe was underage. After the charges are dropped, he still has the stigma of a pedophile.

Franco is getting banished from the MLB already, but what if this isn't what it is being reported as?

He may not play in the MLB again, but I bet he’s still going to be playing in the minors

It's more common in 3rd world countries. We live in a place that is built on wealth and modernity and we don't really relate to what life is like in most of the world.

If you're from the South and you look at your family tree history, you will probably see a lot of grandmothers and great grandmothers who were married off when they were still teenagers. Life was hard back then. Resources were scarce. A teenage boy was an extra farm hand or a strong back to work a part time job and contribute to the family coffee jar. A teenage girl was another mouth to feed. Plus life expectancy was in the 50s so might as well get started on becoming an adult and building a family of your own.

None of this excuses a millionaire MLB player from swimming in the kiddie pool, but standards are different in most of the world. They aren't paying $500 for their daughters to go see Taylor Swift; they're trying to figure out how to raise a daughter on a $500 annual income.

Remember the top pitching prospect from Oregon State that was diddling his female cousin who was like 6 years old? Yeah he didnt throw a pitch in the pros, minors or majors. He did play in China and Mexico though, so maybe Wander has a shot there

he's super young himself and it's their culture. He deserves a fair hearing imo but zero chance of that.

Is that what happened in the end? Articles even after charges were dropped said he shared images of young girls being sexually abused. If it really was sharing pictures of a 16 year old that could pass for 18 or something, he should sue media that put that in their articles.

Innocent until proven guilty, but if it’s true the real victims are his wife and TWO children.

Actually sounds like the teenager extorted him but he shouldn’t have let himself be put in that position.

Lol, are you trying to say Kitna isn't just a kid who is lucky to be from a wealthy family?

quote:

Eventually, the account was traced to Kitna, and multiple more illicit images were found on his devices.

One of the photos Kitna shared allegedly included an adult male having sex with a prepubescent girl.




quote:

The final question is why? How is all this possible? This kind of plea deal isn’t a thing. The case doesn’t appear to have suppression grounds. He pled to charges that aren’t even lesser included offenses. My opinion is that he was given that kind of plea deal because he is a Florida Gator, and his father is a former NFL Quarterback. If that is true, as a criminal defense attorney who represents countless indigent clients, I am truly disgusted. That should not be our criminal justice system.

If it’s one girl, maybe you can say she lied, he was played, etc.

If it’s two girls, it’s over for him.

He’s done. He’s going to get the Luke Heimlich treatment. No one will sign this guy, ever.
