After hearing this news about a mlb player who is korean just shocked and blew my mind. This is an ongoing investigation but chances are that he will go to jail for sexual assault. One thing that i do not understand in this world is that it's always the people who have millions of dollars, can be professional athletes, celebrities and many more that are always involved in these types of criminal offenses or sexaul assualt.
