Trevor Bauer is facing another accusation of sexual assault.
An Arizona woman is suing the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher for $3.7 million, accusing Bauer of raping her and choking her unconscious in 2020, according to a USA Today report.
Citing court filings, the report added that the woman claims Bauer, at one point, held a steak knife to her throat and got her pregnant.
The Arizona woman is also seeking an “apology to any women the defendant has sexually humiliated and abused against their consent.”
The lawsuit, which had been filed and amended to include multiple incidents involving Bauer and the Arizona woman in 2020, also claimed the pitcher body slammed her, even though he knew she was pregnant.
She said in the filing, according to USA Today, that Bauer said he would not maintain any relationship with her if she had the baby.
Bauer’s camp has shot down the most recent allegations and has countersued the Arizona woman in response.
“Based on [the woman’s] demand letter and failure to provide any medical records to substantiate her pregnancy or termination thereof, Mr. Bauer now believes that [the woman] fabricated her pregnancy to try to extort him for money,” the countersuit said, according to USA Today.
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred suspended Bauer last year for violating the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy after a San Diego woman claimed he beat and sexually abused her in 2021.
Even after an arbiter reduced his suspension from two years to 194 games, the right-hander was cut by the Dodgers in January.
He was not charged with a crime after the San Diego woman accused him of punching and choking her unconsciousness during two sexual encounters, claims Bauer denied.
Bauer was not picked up by another MLB team after the Dodgers cut him and he signed with Japan’s Yokohama BayStars — a team he had visited in 2019 — in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
He had signed a three-year, $102 million deal with the Dodgers before the 2021 season, pitching just 17 games with the club.
