Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer on Tuesday faced new allegations of sexual assault from an encounter with an Arizona woman in 2020. The one-time Cy Young Award winner denied the claims and filed a countersuit against the woman.

The allegations surfaced in a report in USA Today. The woman claimed Bauer raped her and got her pregnant and held a jagged steak knife to her throat. The woman, who initially filed her suit against Bauer in December, is the fourth to make the claim against the current Japan baseball star.

The woman is seeking $3.7 million in damages and an "apology to any women the defendant has sexually humiliated and abused against their consent," according to the report.

Bauer’s lawyers said the pitcher had a single and consensual encounter with the woman back in December 2020 when the condom broke during sex. Bauer’s countersuit said the woman claimed she was pregnant and that she demanded $1.6 million to terminate the pregnancy and that the pitcher made an "audio recording" of the request.

The countersuit said Bauer declined to pay up and would support the woman if she ended up having the baby. He reportedly paid nearly $9,000 for the "alleged pregnancy and its subsequent termination."
