LOS ANGELES — The woman whose sexual assault allegations against Trevor Bauer triggered an investigation that resulted in a two-year suspension of the Dodgers pitcher denied that any of the allegations were "false, fabricated, or bogus," her attorneys wrote in a court filing this week.
Bauer sued the woman for defamation in April, claiming she lied about her sexual encounters with him in order to destroy his reputation and career while enriching herself. Four days after he sued, Major League Baseball handed down a suspension that could cost him as much as $60 million.
In her response, filed in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, the woman denied allegations she had made a "false, misleading or defamatory police report" and denied she had "submitted altered or filtered photographs" in her request for a restraining order.
