I'm with you on grown men with young teenagers being gross but let's not act like there are many places in the world where girls of such a young age are married off to grown men and it's not just acceptable but encouraged there. And it's only really been since the 20th century in western civilization that it hasn't been the norm for girls to married off before they left their teens to older men.
it does not matter if its legal in DR or not (Which its not) MLB is going to hammer him for it. and rightfully so
