Trevor Bauer accuser testifies about 'very forceful' sexual encounter, following report that an Ohio woman filed a previous protection order against the pitcher

• The woman who accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher of sexual assault testified in court on Monday.
• During her first public statements, she called her encounters with Bauer "very forceful and very painful."
• Bauer has denied all allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence.

At a Monday morning hearing, the woman who accused Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault and battery took the stand and spoke publicly for the first time.

Before Bauer's accuser, who Insider is choosing not to name, spoke, Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman denied a motion for continuance to delay the hearing and instructed the proceeding to continue. Bauer has denied the allegations.

In a statement provided to Insider in August, Bauer's agent Jon Fetterolf denied the allegations of abuse and said the encounters between Bauer and the woman were consensual. Bauer is currently on leave from the Dodgers.

In her testimony, Bauer's accuser spoke about her experiences with alcoholism from ages 15-25, and said that she quit drinking because "it was a life or death issue."

Her mother, dressed in black and occasionally gesturing support to her daughter, was also in attendance.

During her testimony, she said that after arriving at Bauer's Pasadena residence during their first encounter in late April, 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."

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.

After the initial alleged assault, she alleged to the court: "I was really sick from going unconscious. I couldn't really form a sentence. I couldn't really move my body."

She told the court 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."

She described in her testimony being choked by Bauer and punched in the face and all over her body during their second encounter in May.

"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 allegations against Bauer first surfaced in a temporary ex parte restraining order application filed by a 27-year-old woman on June 29. The woman, who Insider has chosen not to name, accused Bauer of getting violent with her during two otherwise consensual sexual encounters over a two-month period.

Bauer was supposed to first answer the allegations last month, but the hearing was pushed to August after his defense team requested more time to prepare its witnesses.

The Washington Post reported over the weekend that it obtained court and police documents showing another past sexual partner had requested a restraining order against Bauer in Ohio.

The Ohio woman sought a protective order in June 2020 after she alleged that Bauer, who was then a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, repeatedly threatened her, according to a Washington Post report. The Post obtained photographs of the woman that showed bruises on her face and blood in her eyes. Her attorney told the paper that Bauer caused the injuries by punching and choking her during sex without her consent.

Bauer's agents Jon Fetterolf and Rachel Luba denied the allegations by the Ohio woman, telling The Post they were "categorically false."

The pitcher is on leave from the Dodgers as he remains under investigation for sexual assault.
