The woman accusing Trevor Bauer of sexual assault testified in court this past Monday and told a judge the Dodgers pitcher treated her “like a rag doll” during two sexual encounters in April and May.
During her first public statements, she called her encounters with Bauer “very forceful and very painful.”
During her testimony, she talked about being at Bauer’s residence in April where they had an emotionally vulnerable conversation for hours where they bonded. She said that they talked about Bauer’s three dating rules: “no feelings, no social media posts, and he can sleep with other people.”
Yahoo Sports went into detail about the sexual encounter:
“Then, she alleged in her testimony that about 2 minutes into kissing and cuddling in his room, “He was becoming a little bit more aggressive.” She also demonstrated how the alleged choking her with her own hair by Bauer happened as they began having intercourse, saying, “I had no idea that I was going to go unconscious. It was very forceful and very painful.”
After describing the incident, she told the court that she woke up to being anally penetrated by Bauer, which she repeated that she did not consent to. “Every step I took was shooting pain,” she said about the anal penetration.
“Since I’ve gotten sober, I haven’t had a ton of sex so I’m still trying to figure it out. I was just trying to impress him and give him what he wants because he was polarizing,” she added, wiping away tears between statements and questions.”
She told the court “I was really sick from going unconscious. I couldn’t really form a sentence. I couldn’t really move my body.” She added that regaining consciousness after he choked her triggered her because it made her think about waking up in a hospital after her previous alcohol overdoses.
“I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t live up to what his standard of sex was,” she added in her testimony. When the two texted about seeing each other in May again, the woman told the court, “I wanted to see him again to try to get some power back and have a better experience to forget about the first one.”

Despite what she went through in April, they had a second encounter in may where she would be choked and punched in the face and all over her body.
“When he would hit my face my eyes would close,” she described to the court, “I felt like my soul left my body.”
“It was like I was just a rag doll. I couldn’t physically get a word out. It was like he wasn’t treating me like I was a human being,” she alleged to the court. She told the court that after battling consciousness between being choked and then punched in the face, “my lips split open and my gums turned black.”
“He was making me feel like it was my fault – like I had asked for it,” she added in her testimony.
The 27-year-old woman testified for about four hours in L.A. County Superior Court as Bauer sat silently in his seat. His attorneys have said the two sexual encounters between the woman and Bauer were “wholly consensual” and have promised to refute her claims “to the fullest extent of the law.”
