After having his name dragged through the mud by legacy media over frivolous sexual assault allegations for more than two years, former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer’s legal battle with his accuser has been settled, his legal representatives announced Monday.
“Over the last two years, I’ve been forced to defend my integrity and my reputation in a very public setting, but hopefully this is the last time I have to do so, as I’d prefer to just remain focused on doing my job, winning baseball games and entertaining fans around the world,” Bauer said in a video released after the settlement. “So today, I’m happy to be moving on with my life.”
According to Fox News, the entire saga began in the spring of 2021 when a woman named Lindsey Hill accused Bauer of “assaulting her on two different occasions at his home in Pasadena, California, during what she said began as consensual sexual encounters.” Despite his denial of the allegations and assertion that the encounters were consensual, the MLB suspended Bauer for 324 games, which was eventually reduced to 194 in December 2022. The Dodgers — which recently honored an anti-Christian drag group at their summer “pride” game — dropped Bauer from their roster over the allegations in January.
In April 2022, Bauer sued Hill for defamation, and she countersued for “sexual battery” several months later. Hill’s request for a restraining order against Bauer was ultimately denied by a judge, with prosecutors also declining to charge Bauer
