Who is the San Diego woman who has accused Trevor Bauer of sexual assault, Lindsey Hill?
Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has received a 324-game Major League Baseball suspension, effective immediately, as a result of Lindsey Hill accusing him in June 2021 of sexual assault and domestic violence.
This is the largest punishment in MLB history under the domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy agreed to between MLB and the Players Union in 2015, as that number of games equals two full seasons.

Pasadena Police Department Lt. Bill Grisafe confirmed that the department was investigating Bauer after a woman received a restraining order in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the Dodgers starting pitcher, according to ESPN and The Athletic.
Bauer’s denial
Bauer will appeal the sanction, which would cost him the remainder of the 2022 season, all of the 2023 season, and the first few games of the 2024 season, in addition to losing about $60 million in salary.
“In the strongest possible terms, I deny committing any violation of the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy,” Bauer said Friday in a statement.
“I am appealing this action and expect to prevail. As we have throughout this process, my representatives and I respect the confidentiality of the proceedings.”
Who is Lindsey Hill and how did she meet Bauer?
Hill is a San Diego woman whom Bauer reportedly met on social media. The Dodgers pitcher and the woman met in person twice at his home for consensual rough sex after discussing her sexual preferences, according to the defamation and tortious interference lawsuit the player filed against her.
After their first sexual encounter, Ms. Hill continued to pursue Mr. Bauer so she could have rough sex with him again, but this time, she told Mr. Bauer she wanted a rougher sexual experience. Unbeknownst to Mr. Bauer, who believed Ms. Hill was just expressing her sexual preferences, Ms. Hill’s goal was to lure Mr. Bauer into having a rougher sexual experience so she could later claim this sexual experience was not what she requested and thereby lay the groundwork for a financial settlement,” the document said.
