This kind of shit baffles me. Specifically..."why?"
So, with all the OBVIOUS caveats - I swear to Christ if someone goes wonky about me defending child rape or some shit, I'm going to lose it - I want to know why Franco did what he did.
Of course we could just chalk it up to being a pedo or whatever, but that doesn't satisfy the answer as to why a future superstar with millions already to his name threw it all away.
So I checked the age of consent in the DR. 18. Ok, cool.
Child marriage? Also 18. But I saw a weird link talking about underage brides.
Dig a little deeper?
Washington post.
Girls not brides.
Making this about some fucked up pervert is missing the forest for the trees. The DR has some serious problems with this, but the fact we only talk about it now because a guy who can hit a baseball is involved? I dunno. I'm sad this goes away as soon as Franco does.
