Trevor Bauer, currently on administrative leave from the Los Angeles Dodgers as he faces investigations he sexually assaulted a woman earlier this year, faced a previous order of protection filed by an Ohio woman in 2020, according to a published report. In a series of events that partially mirror the order of protection filed against Bauer in Pasadena earlier this year, the Washington Post reported that a woman alleged Bauer choked her without her consent and injured her while they had sex in 2017, and proceeded to send her threatening messages via text and social media. The protective order obtained by the Post has remained sealed, while a police report detailing a 2017 incident in which the woman showed police injuries to her eyes has been expunged. Bauer, then 26, was pitching for Cleveland in August 2017 when police were summoned to his apartment, according to the expunged police report obtained by the Post. The report says said Bauer complained the woman tried to physically harm him, while the woman showed officers pictures of injuries she said were sustained during a previous encounter with Bauer, including damage to her eyes as a result of him choking her. The woman was arrested for underage drinking, according to the police report. The Post also obtained photos of bruises the woman said she sustained when he struck her without her consent during a 2018 encounter. Cleveland traded Bauer to Cincinnati in July 2019, and he won the NL Cy Young Award during the shortened 2020 season The woman filed the protective order in June 2020, which according to the Post came after Bauer sent her threatening messages, including one stating, “I don’t feel like spending time in jail for killing someone.
