The Dodgers' Trevor Bauer will insist that his sexual assault accuser pay his attorney fees; he contends she misused the restraining order process.
Trevor Bauer plans to ask a court to order the California woman who accused him of sexual assault to pay for his costs in defending himself against her request for a restraining order.
In August, a judge lifted a temporary restraining order against the Dodgers pitcher, finding in part that there was no evidence Bauer would harm the woman in the future, or even contact her. The judge also ruled that the woman had been “materially misleading” in describing her contacts with Bauer after their two sexual encounters.Bauer’s contract with the Dodgers pays him $38 million this season.
Chloe Wolman, a Los Angeles family law attorney, said the court would have to balance various public policy priorities: one, the interest in deterring lawsuits that could be frivolous or unreasonable; two, the interest in encouraging victims of sexual assault to come forward; three, the financial situations of both parties.Trevor Bauer vowed last month not to be a distraction; instead he chose the eve of the Dodgers-Cardinals playoff game to relaunch his sideshow.
