Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer won’t be charged in sex

Prosecutors said Tuesday that they will not criminally charge Los Angeles Dodgers superstar pitcher Trevor Bauer for an alleged brutal sexual attack on a woman last year at his home.

The L.A. District Attorney’s Office had been probing the woman’s claims against Bauer, which he had denied.

The D.A.’s office on Tuesday released a form explaining the decision not to charge Bauer.

“After a thorough review of all available evidence, including the civil restraining order proceedings, witness statements and the physical evidence, the People are unable to prove the relevant charges beyond a reasonable doubt,” that form says.

Prosecutors informed Bauer’s representatives that they will not press charges against the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner, those representatives said.

However, the 31-year-old Bauer remains the subject of an ongoing investigation by Major League Baseball, which in a statement noted that fact, and said, “We will comment further at the appropriate time.”

The Dodgers said in their own statement said, “MLB is continuing their investigation. We will have no further comment until it concludes.”

Bauer was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball after the allegations came to light. He never returned to play during the 2021 season as that leave was continued. He last pitched in late June.

Marc Garelick, a lawyer representing Bauer’s accuser, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An emotional Bauer, in a videotaped statement lasting more than seven minutes that was posted on YouTube, said, “Both my representatives and I have expected this outcome from the beginning, and we are grateful that each of these neutral, third party arbiters have reviewed the relevant information and made clear and informed decisions on this matter.”

“I have cooperated with the Pasadena Police Department’s investigation and my version of events has not wavered because it’s the truth. I also never ‘materially misled’ the court, as it was found that this woman did,” he said.

“While this is not the time or the place to address every single lie or falsehood that this woman or her lawyers made to the court, I do want to be crystal clear about a few things. I never punched this woman in the face. I never punched her in the vagina. I never scratched her face. I never had anal sex with her or sodomized her in any way,” Bauer said.

“I never assaulted her in any way at any time. While we did have consensual rough sex, the disturbing acts and conduct that she described simply did not occur,” he added.

 “You may not be my biggest fan or agree with everything I’ve said over the years, and that’s ok – I’m not a perfect person. If you want…
