Troubled Los Angeles Dodgers pitching ace Trevor Bauer is asking a California judge to toss out a lawsuit filed by the woman who accused him of sexual assault.
TMZ Sports reports that Bauer, currently suspended by MLB, claims he has a video taken from his bed during the pair’s second sexual encounter.
The 31-year-old Cy Young Award winner says the video proves the San Diego woman is lying about her injuries.
The website obtained the motion filed by Bauer’s legal eagles and it includes a video allegedly recorded by his accuser, Lindsey Hill, after their sexual encounter on May 16, 2021.
“She appears to be willingly in bed with a sleeping Mr. Bauer, and is smirking and uninjured,” Bauer’s lawyers wrote.

The 10-second clip doesn’t contain audio, TMZ Sports said, adding that its editors have seen it.
Bauer’s team claim they received the video from the Pasadena Police Department. The lawyers believe the video proves that Bauer’s accuser didn’t actually sustain facial injuries, thus cratering her case.
Hill claimed Bauer gave her two black eyes following sex at his mansion.
In August, she filed a lawsuit for battery against Bauer.
Her lawsuit reads: “Last year, disgraced Major League Baseball player Trevor Bauer violently and sadistically abused Hill in the most appalling manner imaginable, sexually battering and battering a defenceless woman.”

Hill is seeking unspecified damages from Bauer.
His team responded to her claims: “Lindsey Hill’s claims were judicially disproven last August following a hearing regarding a DVRO (domestic violence restraining order) petition filed in bad faith.”
Earlier, in August 2021, a California court torpedoed Hill’s request for a permanent restraining order against the hurler. The court said Hill did not set clear boundaries before their sexual encounters.
Still, the judge described Hill’s injuries as “terrible.”

MLB beaned Bauer with a two-year suspension without pay. He is appealing the decision.
Bauer also filed a countersuit claiming that Hill was bitter and determined to destroy his career in baseball.
