His sentencing date has not been decided yet but he is certainly facing multiple decades in prison.

When he was arrested in 2019, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said,

“FDLE agents, with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, today arrested Felipe Vazquez, 28, of Saint Cloud, FL, for one count of computer pornography – solicitation of a child and one count of providing obscene material to minors. Vazquez, a baseball player with the Pittsburgh Pirates, was taken into custody in Pittsburgh this morning,”
