Accuser of Trevor Bauer Charged with Fraud

The woman who accused former MLB player Trevor Bauer of sexual assault has been charged with fraud and theft by extortion, with an indictment alleging that Bauer and another person were defrauded in a scheme potentially spanning several years. Bauer, who was never arrested or charged, countersued, claiming the sexual encounter was consensual and accusing the woman of faking a pregnancy to extort money from him. The woman is scheduled to be arraigned on the criminal charges, while Bauer, who has been trying to revive his career after a suspension for violating the league's policies, maintains his innocence.
