Former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer awarded $310,000 after being falsely accused of sexual assault

According to the Los Angeles Times, Bauer filed a complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming Hill breached the deal by falsely claiming online and in 22 other separate instances that she had received a financial payout from him as part of the settlement after she was indicted on charges of On Monday, Judge Daniel Crowley ruled in Bauer’s favor, ordering Hill to pay him $309,830.

With the two lawsuits from 2021, Bauer suing Hill for defamation and Hill suing him for sexual assault and battery, they both agreed not to pay each other. Despite not being paid by Bauer, Hill sent an email to Bauer's attorneys saying that she would get a payout of $300,000 from an insurance policy.

She subsequently claimed on social media after the settlement that Bauer “handed back an insurance sum to me that was meant for him in order for me to drop my countersuit." Bauer sued her in October for the claim, as well as the other instances of her claiming that Bauer had to send her a payout.

As part of the 2021 settlement, Hill as well as those representing her were barred from saying Bauer or any representative "paid her any money as consideration for the settlement," and each violation would be $10,000.

"Because Hill has a long history of making false and defamatory claims against me on social media, I was concerned that Hill would falsely claim that I paid her to resolve the lawsuit," Bauer said of the settlement.

The award given to Bauer from the different violations committed by Hill amounted to $220,000 for 22 violations. Judge Daniel Crowley granted the victory to Bauer by default because his lawyers produced “sufficient evidence to justify the award.”

Following the 2021 claims made by Hill, Bauer released evidence publicly showing that the allegations against him by Hill were false. Her claims were then dismissed with prejudice.
