Trevor Bauer's Legal Dispute with Accuser Lindsey Hill Ends in Settlement
Agreement Reached, Bauer and Hill Drop Charges
Background of the Case
In June 2021, Lindsey Hill accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault. The Pasadena Police Department investigated the allegations, but Bauer denied any wrongdoing. The legal dispute has been ongoing for nearly a year.
Settlement Details
Recently, Bauer and Hill agreed to settle their legal dispute. Both parties have agreed to drop their respective charges. Bryan Freedman, Hill's lawyer, revealed that Hill received $300,000 from her insurance company as part of the settlement.
Lawsuits and Counterclaims
Initially, Bauer sued Hill for defamation. Hill countersued, alleging assault and sexual battery. However, the settlement agreement stipulates that neither party will pay money to the other.
Resolution of the Dispute
The settlement resolves all legal proceedings between Bauer and Hill. Both parties have agreed to move forward without further litigation. The terms of the agreement remain confidential.
Impact on Bauer's Career
The settlement could potentially have an impact on Bauer's baseball career. The Los Angeles Dodgers released him in December 2021 following the allegations. He has not played in the Major Leagues since. It remains uncertain whether the settlement will clear the way for him to return to professional baseball.
