Restraining order request against Trevor Bauer denied by judge after emotional hearing

An L.A. Superior Court judge denied a restraining order request filed by a woman who accused Trevor Bauer of sexual assault following four days of emotional testimony.

Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman said there was a distinction between what the accuser thought and what she communicated to Bauer.

“When she set boundaries, [Bauer] respected them,” the judge told the courtroom following closing arguments.

While ruling that Bauer and his accuser did have a “dating relationship” under the law — a condition for issuing a restraining order — the judge said she did not consider Bauer a threat to the woman.
