The age of consent in the Dominican is 18. It would not seem he could even claim he didn't know, or that the girl lied to him. Apparently there was a second complaint against him by a minor as well. If true and this takes its expected trajectory, what a waste. Not to be flippant about an obviously serious potential crime, but I am reminded of the Croce song Five Short Minutes.
