San Diego Woman Files Countersuit To Trevor Bauer's Defamation Claim

Aug 11, 2022 7:55 PM

A San Diego woman who alleges Trevor Bauer sexually abused her has filed a countersuit to his defamation claim, alleging the Dodgers pitcher beat her and left her bruised, according to a court filing.

Bauer has denied abusing the woman he met through social media. He sued her for defamation in April, claiming she lied about details involving their sexual encounters in order to destroy his reputation and career while enriching herself.

Major League Baseball has suspended Bauer for two years, a ruling made after Bauer sued the woman. Bauer has said he engaged in consensual rough sex with the woman but did nothing to warrant a suspension.
