Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer sued former Athletic reporter for defamation after she claimed he 'fractured' the victim's skull after he allegedly punched and choke a woman during sex, but charges were never filed. Bauer, 31, is suing Molly Knight for defaming him 'by creating and spreading the false narrative that Mr. Bauer fractured the Complainant’s skull,' the filed on Tuesday stated. She also allegedly stated that the victim's skull was 'cracked.' 'There was no basis for that assertion because the Complainant’s own medical records — which The Athletic possessed — showed that she had no such fracture,' the lawsuit stated. 'Nonetheless, consistent with their prior and subsequent expressions of animus toward Mr. Bauer, The Athletic and Ms. Knight publicized that false attack, which was picked up and further disseminated to a larger audience by other media outlets and social media sites.'
