- Trevor Bauer took aim at "misinformation" surrounding the sexual assault allegations he faced.
- Bauer was at the center of a five-month investigation after a woman accused him of sexual assault.
- The Dodgers star posted on Instagram after prosecutors choose not to press charges.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer defended himself publicly on Tuesday after the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced that he would not face criminal charges over sexual assault allegations.
"During the investigation, I've watched many draw premature conclusions based on an absurd amount of misinformation and false claims that have been circulated with absolutely no corroboration," the 31-year-old said on Instagram.
Bauer was at the center of a five-month investigation after a San Diego woman accused him of sexual assault and battery during encounters in April and May 2021.
The woman reported the incidents to the Pasadena Police, which said on Tuesday that it reviewed "all available evidence," including "civil restraining order proceedings, witness statements, and physical evidence," according to the district attorney's charge evaluation document obtained by Insider.
Prosecutors ultimately decided not to press charges.
"The investigation has been extremely thorough and both the Pasadena police and the district attorney's office have access to much more information than has been made public at this point," Bauer said.
In August, the Los Angeles Superior Court denied a request by the woman to seek a five-year restraining order against Bauer.
"In doing so, the court also found that no sexual assault, active abuse, or non-consensual sex occurred between me and the woman seeking the restraining order," Bauer said.
He said both he and his representatives have expected prosecutors' decision not to press charges "from the beginning."
Major League Baseball said it's investigation is still "ongoing" in a statement Tuesday.
