Accuser of Trevor Bauer Charged with Fraud

The woman who accused former MLB player Trevor Bauer of sexual assault has been charged with fraud and theft by extortion, allegedly defrauding Bauer and another person in a scheme spanning several years. Bauer, who was never arrested or charged, countersued the woman, claiming they had a consensual encounter and accusing her of faking a pregnancy to extort money. The woman is scheduled to be arraigned on the criminal charges, while Bauer, who has been trying to revive his career after a suspension for violating the league’s policies, maintains his innocence.
