A San Diego woman who accused LA Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexually abusing and beating her has filed a counterclaim to his defamation lawsuit against her, according to a court filing.
Bauer's attorneys released a statement Thursday pointing to a judge's decision last year denying the woman a restraining order. The judge said she had been “materially misleading” in part of her request.
“She ‘materially misled’ the court and could not meet the lowest burden of proof in our justice system — because her claims were false,” attorneys."She is being sued for defamation to be held accountable for her lies and the damage it has caused. Her countersuit is a regurgitation of her judicially disproven claims and yet another attempt ... to defame Mr. Bauer and seek to profit from her lies.
The woman's lawsuit says her life has been"turned into a nightmare by a powerful man who mercilessly battered her and counted on facing no consequences whatsoever for his despicable conduct.” After one encounter, the woman ended up with two black eyes, according to the filing.
The woman denied she had a plan to destroy Bauer’s reputation or career, or exploit him for money, although she admits “she was angry at Plaintiff because he had sexually assaulted her.” A Los Angeles Superior Court judge declined to grant the restraining order. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office declined to file criminal charges against Bauer.Bauer is appealing his suspension by MLB. There is no timetable for a ruling.
