A third woman has come forward and aimed Trevor Bauer to cross the line during sex … and claim that the pitcher strangled her unconscious and hit her in the face without consent back in 2013 and 2014.
The allegations were made public hours after MLB handed over Bauer 2 year ban for violating the league’s policy of domestic violence and sexual assault. The woman claims she spoke to league investigators during its 10-month investigation.
The woman claims she met Bauer on a dating app in April 2013 … when he was a member of Cleveland’s minor league team in Columbus.
The woman makes it clear that the sex under their relationship was always consent – but claims during intercourse, “things happened outside my consent,” according to Washington Post.
Among the allegations, the woman claims that Bauer strangled her during sex, which she agreed to “to a certain point.” But, she says, in the ensuing meetings, he grabbed her throat until she fainted, which she says she was against.
She claims Bauer strangled her unconscious dozens of times … and he would only stop if she “got mad and was like desperate about it” or if she fainted.
The woman says on one of the occasions, after she had come to consciousness, that Bauer penetrated her anal without her consent.
The woman says she actually has video of at least one of the alleged choking incidents … because Bauer allegedly recorded their sexual encounters with a GoPro camera either mounted on a tripod or strapped to his head.
The prosecutor is represented by a skilled lawyer Joe Tacopinawho claims to have seen the video – “She’s clearly struggling to breathe and knocks on his arm to escape and you see her skin tone getting darker,” the lawyer told the Post.
The allegations are of the same nature as Bauer’s other prosecutors … who say their sexual encounters all started by consensus, but went to a place that was outside their approval.
Bauer – who has not pitched since June 2021 – has denied in the strongest terms any offense since the first charges were published … and has promised to appeal his 2-year exclusion from MLB.
Police and the district attorney are investigating allegations made by Bauer’s first charges in California … but officials chose not to prosecute. This week, Bauer brought an action against her and claimed she was trying to ruin his career.
The other prosecutor initially imposed a restraining order … but withdrew his request after Bauer allegedly threatened to sue.
