Former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer sues accuser, says she broke settlement terms

Trevor Bauer, the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher and Cy Young Award winner whose career was upended by sexual assault allegations, is reportedly suing his accuser for violating their settlement agreement.

According to a TMZ report on Friday, the 33-year-old L.A. native filed the suit this week against accuser Lindsey Hill. Bauer was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball in July 2021 and later suspended for an unprecedented amount of 324 games after Hill created a selfie video detailing her allegations against the star pitcher.

In that video, Hill said Bauer violently raped her in his Pasadena home earlier that year. She alleged Bauer choked her into unconsciousness and forced her to have sex during two encounters. Bauer countered by claiming that they engaged in consensual, rough sex following guidelines that were previously agreed upon.

The pair filed dueling suits which were settled in October of last year. Bauer did not face criminal charges.

Bauer’s MLB suspension was later reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator, but he was released by the Dodgers as soon as it ended. He hasn’t appeared in an MLB game since. He later played professional baseball in Japan, and most recently Mexico.

Now, Bauer is claiming that by speaking out on social media and a podcast appearance, Hill violated the terms of their settlement.

TMZ reports that Hill claimed she received $300,000 as part of the settlement, but Bauer says that was from her father’s insurance payout, not his. In the new suit, Bauer is seeking $220,000 in liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees — $10,000 per alleged breach.

Bauer has denied all wrongdoing.

In a separate case, prosecutors in Arizona filed felony charges against a woman who accused former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault, alleging she defrauded the former Cy Young winner.

The charges came after a Grand Jury in Maricopa County handed down an indictment against Darcy Adanna Esemonu on one count of fraud and one count of theft by extortion.

Vehicle, 2 occupants plunge into crowded Southern California harbor

Two people were taken to the hospital after a vehicle they were inside plunged into the harbor Sunday night in Marina Del Rey, officials confirmed to KTLA.  

Details are limited and It’s unclear exactly how the incident occurred, but authorities with the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to 4675 Admiralty Way just after 6 p.m. on reports of the vehicle in the water.  

L.A. County Fire Department Public Information Officer Marco Rodriguez said the two occupants were able to get themselves out of the vehicle after it went into the water.  

Both were examined by medical personnel with the fire department and taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition.  

Rodriguez said that two L.A. County Lifeguard divers were deployed to ensure there were no other occupants trapped in the vehicle.

A witness, Johnny Hamcheck, told KTLA that a third person, a woman, exited the vehicle before it went into water, though officials did not confirm that detail.  

Footage of the recovery effort showed crews attaching large yellow floating devices to the vehicle as it was anchored to a crane and eventually pulled out of the water and loaded onto a tow truck.  

The vehicle showed heavy front-end damage, presumably from crashing through the steel railing and into the water.  

An investigation into the crash is ongoing and no further details were provided.
