Trevor Bauer faces another sexual assault allegation, countersues - ESPN

A fourth woman has accused former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in Arizona. Bauer has countersued the woman for fraud, saying she is attempting to harass and extort money from him in the wake of similar allegations made by three other women.

In an amended complaint filed Tuesday, the woman said she had an «unplanned pregnancy» after Bauer «violently sexually assaulted» her in December 2020. Bauer's attorneys, in court filings, described the situation as «a single sexual encounter» that «was consensual.»

The woman, whom ESPN has chosen not to name, stated in her initial complaint that she had visited Bauer at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona, several times before the assault. During those earlier visits, he held a «jagged steak knife to her throat» and choked her several times, according to her initial complaint filed in December 2022.

She also accused Bauer of forcibly removing her clothes, sexually assaulting her and slapping her on December 13, 2020, before he used her butterfly braids «as a rope to choke me unconscious with my hair.» In the amended complaint, her attorneys stated that the assault resulted in an unplanned pregnancy.

The woman also said in the amended complaint that Bauer «instructed that she should not keep any records about what had occurred, including the pregnancy, and that they should keep it private between themselves.» Her attorneys state in the court records that she «became suicidal and went to the hospital» in the weeks after the assault and that Bauer later «slammed» her onto a computer, breaking the screen, when she was about three months pregnant. She «decided not to terminate the pregnancy» but had a miscarriage in April 2021, according to her filing Tuesday.
