Dodgers’ Trevor Bauer denies assault allegations

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer denied assault allegations Tuesday after a woman reportedly received a temporary restraining order against him.

The women’s attorney, Marc Garelick, told TMZ that his client requested and received the court order in the aftermath of “a recent assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer where (the woman) suffered severe physical and emotional pain.”

Dodgers According to TMZ, Pasadena (Calif.) Police are investigating the woman’s allegations.

Garelick said to TMZ, “Our goal is to keep Mr. Bauer from contacting our client in any way possible. We anticipate there will be criminal action against Mr. Bauer, and it is our hope law enforcement will take our client’s allegations and case seriously.”

Bauer’s lawyer, Jon Fetterolf, issued a detailed response. He said in a statement that Bauer and the woman engaged in consensual sexual activity twice at Bauer’s home in Pasadena.

“Following each of her only two meetings with Mr. Bauer, (the woman) spent the night and left without incident, continuing to message Mr. Bauer with friendly and flirtatious banter,” Fetterolf said in his statement. “In the days following their second and final encounter, (the woman) shared photos of herself and indicated that she had sought medical care for a concussion. Mr. Bauer responded with concern and confusion, and (the woman) was neither angry nor accusatory.Dodgers

“Mr. Bauer and (the woman) have not corresponded in over a month and have not seen each other in over six weeks. Her basis for filing a protection order is nonexistent, fraudulent, and deliberately omits key facts, information, and her own relevant communications. Any allegations that the pair’s encounters were not 100% consensual are baseless, defamatory, and will be refuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
