Trevor Bauer investigation underway in Pasadena after the Dodgers pitcher was accused of assault by a woman. Bauer denies the allegations.
Trevor Bauer denies the encounter that led to a woman filing and being granted a temporary domestic violence restraining order was nothing more than rough consensual sex.
Bauer, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is cooperating with the Pasadena Police Department, according to TMZ who reported the news of the assault investigation. TMZ reports the two met online and hooked up on two occasions.
The alleged victim’s attorney, Marc Garelick, said via TMZ, “The order is a result of a recent assault that took place at the hands of Mr. Bauer where Ms. Hill suffered severe physical and emotional pain.”

“Our goal is to keep Mr. Bauer from contacting our client in any way possible. We anticipate there will be criminal action against Mr. Bauer, and it is our hope law enforcement will take our client’s allegations and case seriously.”

Is Trevor Bauer married?
Bauer is not married and previously said if he was, he would be a bad husband, according to a profile by Sports Illustrated’s Ben Reiter. In the profile, Bauer reveals his three rules for a relationship which will raise questions after this investigation.
"“I have three rules. One: no feelings. As soon as I sense you’re developing feelings, I’m going to cut it off, because I’m not interested in a relationship and I’m emotionally unavailable. Two: no social media posts about me while we’re together, because private life stays private. Three: I sleep with other people. I’m going to continue to sleep with other people. If you’re not O.K. with that, we won’t sleep together, and that’s perfectly fine. We can just be perfectly polite platonic friends.”"
