Dodgers' Trevor Bauer to Seek Attorneys' Fees from Sexual Assault Accuser

After a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed the request for a restraining order against Trevor Bauer from the woman who said he sexually assaulted her, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is seeking attorneys' fees from her.

Brent Schrotenboer of USA Today reported Bauer's attorneys filed a notice in civil court looking for an unspecified amount in fees and revealing they plan on subpoenaing her phone records.

His attorneys said the woman "took a proceeding designed to prevent future acts of domestic violence and turned it into a tool to gain publicity and harm (Bauer's) career" and accused her of deleting communications regarding her interactions with the pitcher.
