Bauer is accused of sexually assaulting a woman and rendering her unconscious. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Police say he is under investigation but no arrest has been made. Local attorneys say just because he hasn’t been arrested doesn’t mean it won’t happen. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The woman has filed and was granted a restraining order but it has the potential to be removed. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
