MLB Pitcher Faces Multiple Sexual Assault Allegations and Countersuits

An Arizona woman has accused former major league pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault, alleging in a lawsuit updated this week that he held a knife at her throat and choked her until she passed out during a rape that left her pregnant in late 2020. Bauer was never arrested or charged and he has countersued, denying the allegations and accusing the woman of faking a pregnancy and trying to extort money from him. The woman's accusations are laid out in a civil suit updated this week in Maricopa County Superior Court.
