Police investigate allegation of assault on Dodgers Trevor Bauer

LOS ANGELES Police are investigating an assault allegation against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer and an attorney for the accuser said the woman had obtained a protection order.

Major League Baseball is also reviewing the allegation.

The Dodgers were made aware of the allegations against Trevor Bauer late in the afternoon and immediately contacted MLB, who will be handling the case, the team said in a statement during their Tuesday night game against San. Francisco.

The Dodgers take any allegation of this nature very seriously, but will have no further comment at this time, the club said.

The protection order was obtained under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act and was the result of an assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer where the woman suffered severe physical and emotional pain, lawyer Marc Garelick said.

Pasadena Police spokesman Lt. Bill Grisafe confirmed the department is investigating assault charges involving Bauer, but provided no further details.

TMZ, who first reported the story, said Bauer lived in Pasadena.

Bauers co-agent Jon Fetterolf disputed allegations that Bauer committed non-consensual violence. He said Bauer met the woman in April and the two had a brief, fully consensual sex initiated by the woman.

Its basis for filing a protection order is non-existent, fraudulent and deliberately omits key facts, information and its own relevant communications, Fetterolf said. Any claim that the couples’ dating was not 100% consensual is baseless, defamatory and will be refuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Fetterolf said the woman repeatedly asked Bauer for rough sex, demanding to be strangled and slapped in the face.

Fetterolf claimed that Bauer and the woman remained friendly in text messages after their meetings. The lawyer said Bauer became worried and confused after the woman told him she had seen a doctor for a concussion days after their second and last meeting.

Bauer and the woman haven’t corresponded for over a month and haven’t seen each other for six weeks, Fetterolf said.

Our goal is to prevent Mr. Bauer from contacting our client in any way, Garelick said.

Outspoken Bauer joined his hometown Dodgers earlier this year on a three-year, $ 102 million contract after winning his first Cy Young with the Cincinnati Reds last season. He’s 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA for his new team after beating the Giants on Monday night.
