Trevor Bauer breaks silence after he avoids charges in assault case

Trevor Bauer on Tuesday broke his silence after a big development in his case.

The Los Angeles County’s district attorney’s office has decided not to charge Bauer after investigating assault allegations made against him by a woman with whom he had sex last year.

“After a thorough review of all the 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,” the district attorney determined.

Bauer was placed on administrative leave by MLB on July 2 and did not pitch again for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. He denied all allegations and insisted he was being wrongfully accused, even claiming the photos the woman circulated were edited.

Bauer had a legal victory in August when the woman’s request for a temporary restraining order against him was blocked because he was not deemed a threat to her. He has mostly stayed silent while awaiting the decision from the district attorney, which came on Tuesday.

Bauer then released a video about the matter and included numerous denials.

“I never punched this woman in the face,” Bauer said. “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. 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.”

“I also never ‘materially misled’ the court, as it was found that this woman did,” Bauer added.
