Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer settles Sexual Assault lawsuit after texts reveal he was the target of an extortion plot by his accuser. Bauer was suspended by MLB nearly 2 full seasons following accusations in May 2021.

Stories like this are extremely frustrating for anyone involved. I don’t look forward to reading endless comments (not here necessarily, but elsewhere online) about how he was innocent all along, how everyone lies, how this is why we shouldn’t take SA seriously, etc. A reminder that [he’s been alleged to have committed SA by 3 others](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10079218-trevor-bauer-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-4th-woman-pitcher-denies-allegations), and that generally, someone does not only perpetrate this one time.
