A judge denied a woman’s petition for a permanent restraining order against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer on Thursday, ESPN reports.
The woman, who was granted a temporary ex parte restraining order in late June, testified for hours across three days this week, saying Bauer choked her to the point of unconsciousness and punched her in the face and vagina without her consent during two sexual encounters earlier this year. The 30-year-old pitcher's representatives have said that the encounters were consensual.
