A judge has denied former Dodger Trevor Bauer’s request for more than $300,000 in a default judgment against the San Diego woman who accused him of sexual assault.
Judge Daniel M. Crowley had questions over the amount of attorneys’ fees Bauer sought.
The pitcher’s Los Angeles Superior Court complaint contends that Lindsey Hill went astray of a settlement agreement in their previous dueling litigation by falsely stating 22 times, mostly on the internet, that she received money from Bauer as part of the accord.
He contends that Hill is liable for $10,000 for each breach of the settlement agreement.
The former Cy Young Award winner also is asking for $68,940 in attorneys’ fees and costs as part of the overall $307,480 proposed default judgment. Bauer is seeking the judgment because Hill, who lived in San Diego when she made the original allegations, has not participated in the current case, filed last Oct. 10.
However, during a hearing Wednesday, Crowley said that in order to grant a default judgment, he needs more information on whether the individuals who worked on the case were all attorneys or if some were support staff. He also said the number of hours worked by each person was unclear.
Crowley set another hearing for July 7.
Bauer, 34, signed a three-year agreement with the Dodgers in 2021 and was released by the team in January 2023, more than a year after Hill’s allegations came to light. He now plays for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan.
