Trevor Bauer wins default judgment in defamation suit vs. sexual assault accuser
Trevor Bauer wins default judgment in defamation suit vs. sexual assault accuser Show Caption Hide Caption Ex-MLB star Trevor Bauer settles sexual assault lawsuit Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer and Lindsey Hill, who accused him of sexual assault, have settled their lawsuit outside of court. unbranded - Sport A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Tuesday ordered a woman who accused former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault to pay the 2020 NL Cy Young award winner more than $300,000 in damages for violating terms of a settlement agreement. Attorneys for Bauer and Lindsey Hill, the woman whose allegations led to an MLB investigation and ultimately Bauer's 192-game suspension, struck a deal two years ago to end their lawsuits against each other. However, Bauer filed a new suit last October, alleging that Hill violated terms of their agreement by claiming multiple times on social media that she did receive financial compensation from him. When Hill failed to contest the new suit, Judge Daniel Crowley ruled in Bauer's favor and ordered her to pay $309,832.02 – $10,000 for each of the 22 alleged violations, plus attorney's fees and interest. After the decision, Hill acknowledged in a post on X that she "refused to participate in this suit in any way shape or form" and will appeal the decision. "He will never see a cent from me," she added. Bauer won the 2020 NL Cy Young award with the Cincinnati Reds and signed a three-year, $102 million free agent contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers the following offseason. However, he was placed on administrative leave in 2021 when allegations of sexual assault from multiple women led to an MLB investigation and an unprecedented 324-game suspension in April 2022. No criminal charges were ever filed. His suspension was later reduced to 194 games, but the Dodgers chose to release him while paying most of the $35.3 million remaining on his contract. Bauer, 34, has since pitched in Japan and Mexico, but has not received any interest from an MLB team, despite a stated willingness to play for the league-minimum salary.
