Ex-Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez found guilty of statutory sexual assault

Former Pittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez has been found guilty of 15 counts of sexual misconduct, including statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with minor, corruption of minors and indecent assault, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Mick Stellini.

Vazquez was reportedly found not guilty of 10 charges of unlawful contact or communication with a minor.

Vazquez still awaits charges in Florida for allegations involving the same girl.

Once one of the most feared relievers in MLB, the 29-year-old Vazquez was arrested in Sept. 2019 on charges stemming from an alleged relationship with a girl that started when she was 13. MLB quickly put him on administrative leave in response.

Vazquez was later hit with an array of additional charges after reportedly admitting to having sex with the child in 2017. Police also claimed to find nude photos and videos of the child on his electronic devices.

I don't care for what this guy did. However, it seems a little harsh for statutory rape. Maybe it is partly because he pled not guilty. He was an all-star and now his career may be over. He was convicted of all those counts and may be prosecuted in other states. It seems like just one encounter with this girl and sending her emails or whatever.

I think he can be considered retired.

“I don’t care for what this guy did. However, it seems a little harsh for statutory rape.”

She was 13.

Dude belongs in a cage.

From what I understand this is SOP in Latin America, so why is anyone surprised when immigrants are caught doing what is normal in their country.

Methinks, a 50 year moratorium on immigration is well overdue.

“During the trial, prosecutors showed the jury alleged text messages between the two in which Vazquez called the teen his “slave” in his “possession.”

Vazquez faced more child pornography charges last May in Missouri. He allegedly sent a photo of himself masturbating to a 15-year-old Pennsylvania resident on July 16.”

Not sure if normal in Venezuela, probably not.

Try to get your head around this number. 13. Not 16 or 17 which would have been bad enough. He needs to go to the slam.

Once again meat, you are a meathead. Girls got married at 13 before modern times. Have you seen some 13 year olds ? They could easily pass for 18. I have known 13 year olds who knew more about men than they did about U. S. History. Where were her parents? Why was she allowed to hang out with this guy? Who does that to a 13 year old? I had a couple of daughters and I would not let then be alone with a adult male for any reason. But locking him up in a cage when there were alot more extenuating circumstances is a meathead thing to say. Bottom line is the guy didnt abduct and rape her.

I should have figured people here would think he should be lynched or whatever. I thought he just met some girl and didn’t ask how old she was. Who would send a picture like that to anyone much less a young girl?

I guess he can use some of his money to pay off the prison gangs so he doesn’t get beat up, etc. too badly.

I am with you. He should not be locked on a cage. He should be shot between the eyes with a .45.

We do live in modern times and must abide by current laws and among those laws is that adults cannot rape 13 year old children.
