Trevor Bauer’s sex attack accuser fights back against defamation lawsuit before Dodgers player is seen partying topless 0 151

TREVOR Bauer’s sex assault accuser has finally hired a lawyer who plans to “vigorously” defend her – months after the Dodgers player filed a defamation lawsuit, The Sun can exclusively report.

In April 2022, the MLB officially suspended Bauer for two years, the equivalent of 324 games, which is the longest punishment under the sport’s domestic violence policy since it was initiated.

The pitcher took to his Twitter account to once again deny all allegations, adding that he will appeal the MLB’s decision and filed a defamation lawsuit in the same month.

He is suing his accuser – identified as Ms Hill – along with her former attorney, Niranjan Fred Thiagarajah, after she claimed he choked her during sex and anally penetrated her without consent.

The Sun can reveal both defendants have now hired attorneys to fight their case in court in Los Angeles.

Ms Hill has retained Christopher Wesierski of Wesierski and Zurek LLP based in Orange County, who was previously honored as one of the top attorneys by Super Lawyers.

Wesierski told The Sun exclusively: “We just now are getting into the case but we will be representing the defendant vigorously as we do with all our clients.”

Thiagarajah has also hired David Samani and Kenneth Feldman of LA’s Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard and Smith LLP.

A new filing shows Judge James V. Selna is now taking the case and a time extension has been granted, with Hill’s lawyers having to file their opposition papers by August 23.

Meanwhile, Bauer has been seen in high spirits with his agent, Rachel Luba, during July 4th celebrations in Scottsdale, Arizona this week.

She shared a photograph on Instagram showing him topless at the center of a party group surrounded by decorations as she continues to stand by her client and former university pal.

Luba captioned the pic: “Celebrating America’s independence with the AZ crew!”

A source close to Bauer told The Sun despite the photograph he’s been hard at work, hoping for his suspension to be reduced or lifted all together.

The insider said: “He took a break from his training to enjoy a concert and attend a BBQ with friends and family [and fireworks].

“He’s been working out and throwing almost daily since this began last summer.”

The Sun reached out to Bauer’s rep who declined to comment.

The sportsman also shared an Instagram Story on Tuesday of a fan wearing his Dodgers jersey, with the message: “#freebauer.”

His accuser Ms Hill claimed to have met the baseball star on Instagram and said she had sexual encounters with Bauer in April and May 2020.

‘BOGUS CIVIL ACTION’

In August 2021, she took the stand and spoke publicly for the first time about her encounters with the sports star after filing for a restraining order.

During her testimony, the San Diego woman demonstrated how he allegedly choked her with her own hair as they began having intercourse, saying: “I had no idea that I was going to go unconscious.”

After describing the alleged incident, she told the court that she woke up to being anally penetrated by Bauer, to which she repeated that she did not consent.

When the two texted about seeing each other again in May of 2020, the woman told the court: “I wanted to see him again to try to get some power back and have a better experience to forget about the first one.”

She described in her testimony how she was allegedly choked by Bauer and punched in the face and body during their second encounter in May.

“When he would hit my face, my eyes would close,” she told the court. “I felt like my soul left my body.”

Bauer’s legal team fought back, claiming there was no medical proof he anally penetrated her, and insisted she consented to rough sex on the two occasions.

CRIMINAL CASE DROPPED

They also produced text messages which claimed to show her joking about ruining Bauer’s career and “securing the bag” as she planned to also sue him for damages.

Her request for a restraining order was ultimately thrown out by a judge, and she has not filed a civil lawsuit against the athlete.

Judge Diana Gould-Saltman definitively ruled that the pair had consensual rough sex.

Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file criminal charges against the star, saying in February that there was not enough evidence to prove the accusations beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Sun obtained Bauer’s 40-page defamation lawsuit filed in California which shows he is suing for damages.

The complaint alleges Ms. Hill “fabricated allegations of sexual assault against Plaintiff Trevor Bauer.”

The document also claims his accuser “pursued bogus criminal and civil actions against him, made false and malicious statements about him and generated a media blitz based on her lies.”

The filing further accuses the San Diego woman of intending to “destroy” Bauer’s reputation and baseball career and gain millions of dollars from him.

Thiagarajah was also named in the suit and accused of spreading Ms. Hill’s “false and misleading allegations” to the media and claiming that Bauer had “just brutalized” his accuser.

Aside from Ms Hill, Bauer has been accused of further sexual assault allegations from two other women, which he vehemently denies.

He is also suing The Athletic and a former reporter at the outlet, along with Deadspin and its managing editor.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 259

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
