Los Angeles Dodgers star Trevor Bauer will avoid charges after an investigation into domestic violence allegations from last year, according to multiple reports.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office decided not to charge Bauer after reviewing messages between the pitcher and the accuser, the Pasadena Police Department’s investigation and the transcript of the civil hearing last summer, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

Two sexual encounters between Bauer and the San Diego woman from last spring were under the spotlight in this case. Bauer was not charged after an investigation into the first encounter and there was reportedly not enough evidence to prove that Bauer committed a crime in May either.

The MLB is still investigating the incident. Bauer could face a suspension to start the 2022 season.

"MLB is continuing their investigation. We will have no further comment until it concludes," the Dodgers said in a statement, via AM 570.

Bauer was placed on administrative leave after the allegations first surfaced. While he signed a lucrative contract with the Dodgers before the start of the 2021 season, he only appeared in 17 games. He last pitched on June 28 before he was placed on leave.
