Trevor Bauer Faces Sexual Assault Accuser in Court with ONE Huge Demand [UPDATE]
Following the sexual assault allegations against Trevor Bauer, he and his legal counsel appeared in a court hearing in Los Angeles to clear his name.
According to TMZ, the LA Dodgers star and his accuser faced in the courtroom. The hearing was scheduled because the prosecutors would like to determine whether the accuser's temporary restraining order should be extended or change into a permanent one.
Bauer's representative argues that he wants to send in three witnesses to contest the existing restraining order.
On the other hand, the woman will be calling six witnesses that will help her prolong the restraining order.
The NBL star's lawyer clarified in court that Bauer will not answer any questions that could "self-incriminate him" if ever he is called to stand by the judge.
The accuser's temporary restraining order will remain valid until August 2. The date of the proceedings has been moved because the athlete's lawyer needed more time to review legal documents.
