- LA Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer will not face criminal sexual assault charges, the DA's office announced.
- According to the LA Times, the DA's office thought that there was insufficient evidence.
- In June, a judge denied a request for a restraining order from a woman who accused Bauer of assault.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer will not face any criminal charges after a five-month investigation into sexual assault allegations against him, the the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Tuesday.
Bauer will not be facing domestic violence or sexual assault charges for two instances involving a San Diego woman who had sought a domestic violence restraining order against Bauer in 2021, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The woman accused Bauer of sexual assault and battery during encounters in April and May of last year and reported the incidents to the Pasadena Police.
According to the DA's charge evaluation document obtained by Insider, the Pasadena Police, which conducted the investigation, said they reviewed "all available evidence," including "civil restraining order proceedings, witness statements and physical evidence," and declined to issue charges.
"MLB's investigation is ongoing, and we will comment further at the appropriate time," the MLB said in a statement, adding that Bauer cannot play unless he is cleared, according to the LA Times.
The baseball league did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
In August, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a request to grant Bauer's accuser a five-year restraining order against the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher.
In a statement, Bauer said he and his team "expected the outcome" and that the investigation has been "extremely thorough."
"Both my representatives and I have expected this outcome from the beginning, and we are grateful that each of these neutral, third party arbiters have reviewed the relevant information and made clear and informed decisions on this matter," Bauer said in the statement. "I have cooperated with the Pasadena Police Department's investigation and my version of events has not waivered because it's the truth."
