sport news Trevor Bauer accuser is INDICTED in Arizona for allegedly trying to extort ... trends now
An Arizona woman has been indicted by a grand jury in Maricopa County on fraud and extortion charges involving former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer and another man, although the exact allegations remain unclear at this time.
That woman, Darcy Adanna Esemonu, was indicted last month on allegations that she 'knowingly did obtain a benefit from Marco Bresciant and Trevor Anthony Bauer, by means of fraudulent pretenses, representation, promises, or material omissions,' according to the indictment provided to DailyMail.com. Esemonu faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
Esemonu does not have a criminal attorney listed in this case. DailyMail.com reached out to another attorney who represents Esemonu in her ongoing sexual assault lawsuit against Bauer in Arizona, but has not yet received a response.
She is not the same woman who accused Bauer of sexual assault in 2021, leading to his suspension and subsequent exile from Major League Baseball.
Bauer responded to news of Esemonu's indictment on YouTube by claiming that she demanded $3.6 million from him for allegedly pressuring her to have an abortion – a claim he denies on multiple levels.

'But here's the thing: she never had an abortion, because she was never even pregnant, and that's corroborated by her own medical records,' Bauer said. 'When I refused to pay her the $3.6 million she was asking for, she made up a bogus sexual assault claim and filed a civil suit against me.'
According to Bauer's explanation in his five-minute YouTube clip, the two had one sexual encounter, which he insists was initiated by her.
'We had one plain sexual encounter in December of 2020, nothing that could be considered remotely rough, he said. 'She initiated it, but don't take my word for it, take hers.'
Bauer then proceeds to share purported electronic communications between the two.
'This is a picture and text message she sent me the next morning explaining why she came on to me,' he said. 'And for months afterward, she repeatedly requested to sleep with me again. For example, this text, from January 7, 2021. At one point she even requested a sample of my sperm so she could ''have my child whenever she wanted to'' in the future.'
