Pasadena PD presents investigation on Trevor Bauer to district attorneys office – The Athletic

The Pasadena Police Department presented its investigation into sexual assault allegations against Trevor Bauer to the district attorneys office on Friday. It is now up to the district attorney to decide whether the case will be filed or rejected.

"We have presented that case to the DAs office, and its currently under review," Pasadena PD Lt. Carolyn Gordon told The Athletic. There is no known timeline for when the district attorney's office will make its decision.

Earlier on Friday, MLB and the players' association agreed to extend Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauers paid administrative leave for a seventh time to Sept. 3, a league official told The Athletic.

The league initially placed Bauer on leave July 2 as it began investigating sexual assault allegations against him, stemming from two separate incidents with a woman at Bauer's residence in Pasadena, Calif.

Last week, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a woman's request for a long-term restraining order against Bauer.

After a hearing that lasted four days, Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman said that the 27-year-old San Diego womans petition seeking a domestic violence restraining order was "materially misleading," according to a report from The Associated Press. Gould-Saltman said Bauer followed the woman's boundaries when she set them, adding that he couldnt have been aware of the boundaries she didnt express to him, according to AP.

We consider in a sexual encounter that when a woman says no she should be believed, Gould-Saltman said in a statement to the court, so what should we do when she says yes?

Bauer was present in court during the womans testimony but did not testify. His legal team said he would invoke the Fifth Amendment had he taken the stand.

Bauers co-agents, Jon Fetterolf and Rachel Luba, have disputed the allegations, stating they stemmed from a wholly consensual sexual relationship. The woman, in court documents issued under threat of perjury, said the incidents at Bauers Pasadena home on April 21 and May 15 began as consensual but grew violent without her consent.

The investigation being conducted by MLB remains active.
