What happened to Trevor Bauer? The Dodgers fired him over sexual assault claims but his accuser was later charged with fraud
T
revor Bauer, once considered to be one of the most talented and popular players in the league, had his whole life change in December 2022 when a woman accused him of sexual assault.
While the MLB later reinstated him, the Los Angeles Dodgers fired him in January 2023 due to the allegations against him. But things changed in 2024, when Trevor Bauer accused the same woman, Darcy Adanna Esemonu, of 'fraudulent schemes and artifices'.
Trevor Bauer's life changed when he was accused of sexual assault but then he accused the woman of 'fraud'
Back in 2022, Darcy Adanna Esemonu accused Trevor Bauer of sexually assaulting her in late 2020 which had then resulted in a pregnancy. This news had sparked uproar in the league and had sent shockwaves across his fans.
The serious allegations led to Trevor Bauer being fired from his team in January 2023 but in 2024, the woman was charged by Trevor Bauer for getting undisclosed benefits 'by means of fraudulent pretenses, representation, promises, or material omissions.'
Apparently, as per CNN Sports, according to the police report, Darcy Adanna Esemonu had demanded a whopping $1.6 million from Trevor Bauer for an abortion. While Trevor Bauer did pay $10,000 for pregnancy needs, as per his lawyer, the woman was actually never pregnant when she demanded the amount from the MLB player.
When Trevor Bauer was accused of sexually assaulting Darcy Adanna Esemonu, he strongly denied charges of getting intimate with her without her consent. The former Los Angeles Dodgers' player even shot a video where he denied any charges related to sexual assault.
In the YouTube video, Trevor Bauer had said, 'If there comes a time in the future where I need to defend myself further, I will not hesitate to do so.'
The former Los Angeles Dodgers' player added, 'For now, there is no reason to speak further on this topic, though, because outside of Adanna – who's now been indicted with felony fraud – there are no claims against me, no ongoing investigations, and no outstanding lawsuits.'
At this point in time, there are no further public updates about the case between Trevor Bauer and Darcy Adanna Esemonu.

'Imagine Virat Kohli playing, his daughter clapping': Suresh Raina slams BCCI's family ban on tours, calls for more support
Virat Kohli with wife Anushka Sharma; and Suresh Raina NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina has strongly criticised the BCCI 's decision to bar players' families from accompanying them on overseas tours, calling it unfair and detrimental to players' mental well-being. Earlier this year, following India's Test series loss to Australia, the BCCI issued a revised 10-point guideline that included restrictions on family presence during foreign tours. While the policy was reportedly aimed at maintaining focus and discipline, it has drawn criticism from several quarters - with Raina being one of the most vocal. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Speaking to YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, Raina said, "It is very important to have family on tours. BCCI has taken a big decision that family is not allowed – I'm against this. You are sending them to a tour for two months… family should be allowed. It's not that they (family) are against the players, they (also) would want us to score runs and the country to win." Inside the Dukes Ball Drama: Gill's Anger, Bumrah's Stand, Root's Take He stressed that having family around offers essential emotional support, especially during tough phases in a cricketer's career.

'Don't think fines work. These lads are quite rich': Michael Vaughan slams slow over-rate in IND vs ENG 3rd Test, suggests solution
Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse run between the wickets on the second day of the third Test between India and England at the Lord's Cricket Ground. (PTI) The third Test match between India and England at Lord's has been marred by slow over-rates from both teams, with a combined loss of 22 overs across the first two days of play. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has highlighted this ongoing issue in Test cricket, as India bowled 83 overs on day one, while day two saw only 75 overs bowled collectively by both teams, falling significantly short of the mandatory 90-over target per day. The match situation currently sees India trailing England's first innings total of 387 by 242 runs with seven wickets remaining. Speaking to BBC Sport, Vaughan addressed the ineffectiveness of financial penalties in addressing the slow over-rate problem. "I don't think fines work. I think these lads are quite rich. I don't think the cash is going to affect them. Been a problem for Test match cricket for a while. I know it's hot. I know we've had a few injuries, but when we get to the fifth day, we have to bowl the 90 overs." Inside the Dukes Ball Drama: Gill's Anger, Bumrah's Stand, Root's Take Vaughan emphasised the inconsistency in play pace across different days of Test matches. "I have no idea why on days one, two, three, and four, we can see the game played at a snail's pace. Surely the game moves on by saying on day one there's 90 overs. Guess what we're going to do? We're going to bowl 90 overs on day two exactly the same." Jasprit Bumrah press conference: Hits out at critics, on Lord's Honours Boards, ball controversy The former England captain proposed a straightforward solution to improve over rates in Test cricket. "You watch on day five when the players, the umpires, know that 90 overs have to be bowled. They'll be running around. There won't be as many drinks breaks, there won't be as many delays because they know that 90 overs have to be bowled. So I'd make it very, very simple. You have to bowl the 90 overs. I would guarantee that would improve the pace. " For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.
