Trevor Baueris facing additional allegations of assault, which he denies.
The athlete also allegedly sent her a text message saying he doesn’t “feel like spending time in jail for killing someone,” adding in another text, “And that’s what would happen if I saw you again.” The messages, the woman’s lawyers said, made her obtain the order of protection.

In asocial media statementreleased on Saturday, Bauer broke his silence and accused thePostof making a “false narrative.”
Bauer also said that the woman attempted to “extort me for millions of dollars last year in exchange for her not coming forward with false claims.”
Bauer’s lawyer and agent, Jon Fetterolf, as well as agent Rachel Luba, also shared their own statement as well.
In it, the pair said that Bauer and the woman were in an “on-and-off” consensual relationship between 2016 and 2019 and that she continued to go after him, even filing a “bogus protection petition” while “demanding $3.4 million for her to ‘remain silent.'”
In a statement toThe Post, the pair also called the allegations of abuse “categorically false.”
The latest ordeal with Bauer comes after it was revealed that he isunder police investigationfor an alleged assault that is said to have taken place in late June of this year.
At the time, a spokesperson for the Pasadena Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE that law enforcement officials were looking into an allegation of an assault made against Bauer from another woman.

The initial accuser obtained a protective order against Bauer under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act, her attorney, Marc Garelick, said. In a statement provided to PEOPLE, Garelick claimed the woman “suffered severe physical and emotional pain” as a result of the alleged assault.
In a separate statement to PEOPLE, Bauer’s agent denied the allegation against the athlete and claimed that the assault claim was derived from a “brief and wholly consensual sexual relationship” that began in April.
“Her basis for filing a protection order is nonexistent, fraudulent, and deliberately omits key facts, information, and her own relevant communications,” said Fetterolf. “Any allegations that the pair’s encounters were not 100% consensual are baseless, defamatory, and will be refuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
A restraining order hearing is set for Monday, perUSA Today.
