Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer appeared in court on Monday in a blue suit with a cream shirt and maroon tie, and sat in front of his alleged victim, identified as Ms Hill.
The court hearing began with a defeat for Bauer when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Diana Gold-Saltman denied his request to lift the restraining order against him.

The trial began with the 30-year-old athlete’s defeat after the judge rejected his lawyers’ motion to overturn the restraining order. Bauer insists that their sex sessions were consensual.
Ms Hill was testifying at the witness box this afternoon, but before that Helfend-Mayer began her case today to continue the order, saying: ‘Trevor Bauer committed domestic violence, abuse and sexual abuse on Ms Hill .
‘She had learned to trust Trevor, and it did her serious harm.
‘A normal person does not freely consent to the abuse of himself, which is likely to cause great bodily harm.’
Helfand-Mayer described Hill as the daughter of a baseball coach and herself as a lifelong baseball fan – as a recovering alcoholic who is ‘weak, scared and fragile’.
“She was the perfect victim for Trevor Bauer,” she said.
Hill was watching Bauer pitch in his game against the Padres on TV at his home in San Diego when he tagged her in a post he was not expected to respond to, the court heard.
Helfend-Meyer described his client (pictured taking the stand on Monday) as ‘vulnerable’ and ‘the perfect victim for Trevor Bauer’.
Hill claims that he consented to have sex with Bauer on two occasions, but during the encounters, he allegedly punched her repeatedly, knocked her unconscious and sexually assaulted her without her consent. Did.
But he replied shortly after the game was over and both of them started talking on social media.
Hill then drove 130 miles to visit Bauer at her Pasadena home on April 21 of this year, and the two chatted for several hours, during which Bauer told her his three rules of dating: You for the other. Can’t hold feelings; You may not post to social media simultaneously; You can still sleep with the others, Helfend-Mayer told the court.
He said they ended up in bed where Bauer became ‘aggressive’.
‘ Trevor asked if he had ever suffocated during sex before. She said yes, even though she didn’t…..
‘ He put his fingers down her throat. He asked her to stop and she did.
He wrapped her hair around her neck and strangled her. She became unconscious.’
And when Hill came: ‘Bauer was having anal sex with her,’ Helfend-Mayer said.
‘Anal sex was very painful. He asked her to stop and she…….her anus was bleeding – she could hardly walk.’
On their next sexual encounter, again at their Pasadena home, on May 15.
Bauer’s lawyers accused the woman of pursuing the athlete for financial gain in hopes of reaching a settlement. In a message filed in her court, the woman reportedly wrote: ‘Ill have my NDA signed and stamped, and my feelings button is off, don’t worry’ (above)
Previous messages released in court filings show that Hill told his cousin that his face was ‘f***ed up’.

The court heard, Bauer kicked him out. The lawyer said, ‘She was finding it difficult to breathe…she was disoriented.’
‘ He started hitting her face again and again. He punched her in the side of the face with his clenched fist.
‘She was scared. She was like a rag doll. She couldn’t move. She could taste the blood in her mouth.
‘ Then he spread her legs to expose her vagina and started punching her in the vagina. He felt more pain than ever.
‘ Then he put it on her stomach and started scratching her back. She was afraid that he might kill her again.
‘ He asked her if she had ever been killed before and she said she had not. Then, in fact, he took a bath.’
According to text messages released by his lawyers on Tuesday, Hill described their encounters as “consensual” but said Bauer “took it too far” leaving him with black eyes.
Bauer’s lawyers claimed in a court filing last week that the photos ‘appear to have been edited or filtered to give a misleading or false impression of his injuries’ (above)
Helfend-Mayer later said that Bauer told Hill: ‘You have two pairs. I need to be more careful when I hit you. You may have some bruises on your butt.
When she returned home, Hill “violently threw up and had a severe headache”, and friends persuaded her to go to the hospital for treatment, the court was told.
Hill later went to Pasadena to report the incidents and police there are still investigating with Major League Baseball.
The hearing came after Bauer pushed back against Hill last week, claiming that the photos of his bruised and injured face had been ‘edited’.
Bauer’s lawyers claimed in a court filing last Tuesday that the alleged victim is pursuing charges against the 30-year-old sports star only ‘to generate publicity, try to eliminate [his] Baseball career, and gain a monetary settlement.’
Lawyers vowed that ‘no settlement or cash offer has ever been made or will be made’ and said these motivations suggest that the restraining order against Bauer should be dismissed.
Bauer, 30, won the National League Cy Young Award last April as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. He is now on paid leave after the allegations
Hill claims that he consented to have sex with Bauer on two occasions, but during the encounters, he allegedly punched her repeatedly, knocked her unconscious and sexually assaulted her without her consent. Did.
The alleged victim filed and in late June a temporary restraining order was granted against Bauer and he was placed on paid leave from the Dodgers.
Bauer denied the allegations, claiming that the woman voluntarily participated in some form of sex that was ‘completely consensual’.
The Pasadena Police Department has opened a criminal investigation into the allegations. Bauer has not been arrested or charged with any crime in this case.
In a court filing seen by DailyMail.com, Bauer’s attorneys Sean Holly and Kate Mangels argue that the restraining order should be dismissed, claiming there is no valid reason for it.
They accuse the woman of pursuing Bauer for financial gain in hopes of reaching a settlement – something they say is not open to the sports star.
