LOS ANGELES — Legal experts say that Los Angeles prosecutors' decision not to file criminal charges against Trevor Bauer will propel evolving conversations about how the judicial system handles cases that hinge on questions of consent, and where boundaries should be drawn in instances involving rough sex.
"This case raises the question of how far does consent go?" said Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson. "Where are the limits?"
Last summer, a San Diego woman sought a restraining order against the Dodgers pitcher, saying that after meeting Bauer through social media she had visited his home in Pasadena on two separate occasions earlier that year.
