Felipe Vazquez Facing New Sex-Related Charges
5 years agoPittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez is facing 21 new charges after investigators found evidence of child pornography on devices they say he owned. The charges include 10 counts of child pornography, 10 counts of unlawful contact with a minor and a single charge of corruption of minors. The left-hander was already charged with having sexual contact with a teenage girl in Arizona. It's not looking good for Vazquez, who has been an All-Star closer for the Bucs. If convicted, he'll face deportation and would likely have a lengthy suspension from major league baseball. Pittsburgh could look outside the organization for another ninth-inning arm if Vazquez is out of the picture, but their best in-house option may be Keone Kela.
