Ex-Pirate sentenced for statutory sexual assault

GREENSBURG, Pa. -- A former Pittsburgh Pirates reliever was sentenced Tuesday to at least two years behind bars for statutory sexual assault and child pornography, among other charges, in a case involving a girl who was 13 when the encounters began.

Felipe Vazquez, 30, was sentenced to two to four years. He has already served almost two years in jail and will be eligible for a parole hearing one month after arriving in prison, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Prosecutors said the former All-Star closer was in touch with the girl by text message from 2017 to 2019, the same years he played for Pittsburgh, and once met her outside a home in Scottdale, southeast of Pittsburgh, where, investigators say, he told them he tried to have sex with her.

The girl's mother found their communication after the family had moved from Pennsylvania to Florida. Vazquez was arrested in September 2019 and is facing related charges in Florida and Missouri.
