Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has pushed back against the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting and abusing her, claiming that photos of her bruised face have been 'edited'.
Bauer's attorneys claimed in a court filing Tuesday that the alleged victim is only pursuing the allegations against the 30-year-old sports star 'to generate publicity, try to end [his] baseball career, and gain a monetary settlement.'
The attorneys vowed that 'no settlements or cash offers have or will ever be made' and said these motivations show the restraining order against Bauer should be dismissed.
The woman, known only as Ms. Hill, claims she consented to having sex with Bauer on two occasions but, during the encounters, he allegedly punched her repeatedly, choked her unconscious and sodomized her without her consent.
The alleged victim filed and was granted a temporary restraining order against Bauer in late June and he was placed on paid leave from the Dodgers.
Bauer denies the allegations, claiming the woman willingly participated in rough sex which was 'wholly consensual.'
The Pasadena Police Department has launched a criminal investigation into the allegations. Bauer has not been arrested or charged with any crime in the case.

In the court filing, seen by DailyMail.com, Bauer's attorneys Shawn Holley and Kate Mangels argue that the restraining order should be dismissed, claiming there is no legitimate reason for it.
They accuse the woman of pursuing Bauer for financial gain in the hopes of reaching a settlement - something they say the sports star is not open to.
In the filing, the attorneys point to text messages from the alleged victim to a friend to support this claim.
In a text message to a friend, they claim she wrote that 'he[']s gonna try to settle with me' and 'offer me major cash then make me sign an nda'.
In another message, included in the filing, the woman allegedly wrote: 'Ill have my NDA signed and sealed, and my feelings button switched off, dont worry.
The attorneys also claim the woman was motivated by publicity and a desire to end Bauer's career.
They claim that, 'despite alleging that she was fearful of the publicity [Hill] nonetheless ensured that her DVRO request got wide press.'
They claim Hill told a friend she was 'so glad they are out' and that 'it is so good to have the media on my side' when the allegations were made public.
In the filing, the attorneys also claim the accuser showed 'repeated excitement and desire at ending [Bauer's] baseball career.'
She allegedly told her cousin on June 15 - two weeks before filing for the restraining order - that it was 'so hard to wait for bauer to go down,' but 'itll be worth it,' according to the filing.
Bauer's attorneys also point to the timing of the request for the temporary restraining order as what they say is evidence that 'undermines the credibility of her allegations.'
The woman filed the request around six weeks after the second - and last - time she met with Bauer for sex, the attorneys claim.
This was also allegedly around a month after their last communication via text.
Bauer's accuser, identified as Ms. Hill, released these photos of scratches and bruising on her face and lips as she accuse Bauer of sexual assault and abuse
The woman, known only as Ms. Hill, claims she consented to having sex with Bauer on two occasions but, during the encounters, he allegedly punched her repeatedly, choked her unconscious and sodomized her without her consent.
Bauer's lawyers claim this shows she 'did not see an imminent concern about hearing from or seeing [him].'
Last week, the woman permitted her attorney Bryan Freedman to publicly share unredacted photos of the bruises she says were caused by Bauer.
In the photos, contained within the restraining order request, the victim's face is seen with bruises under both eyes, and visible injuries on both her top and bottom lips.
A partial side-profile image also shows what appear to be multiple scratches across the woman's cheek.
Hill also claims she had bruising on her gums and near her vagina, where Bauer punched her repeatedly.
In Tuesday's filing, Bauer's attorneys cast doubt on the photos claiming they 'appear to be edited or filtered in a manner to give a misleading or false impression of her injuries.'
Instead, they accuse the woman of excluding and 'deliberately mischaracteriz[ing]' parts of her medical records in order to 'obtain maximum media attention'.
'Despite CT scans showing no fractures in her head, face, and neck'' Bauer's attorneys claim, Hill 'nonetheless stated in her affidavit that she had 'signs of a basilar skull fracture... when she definitively knew that her own CT scans had ruled out any fracture.'
In the documents, Bauer's attorneys also claim the woman told Bauer she was 'into' their rough sex after their first encounter in April and had 'never been more turned on in my life.'

On April 29 - a week after the first time they had sex - she allegedly sent Bauer a video of bruising, the documents claim.
Bauer 'expressed surprise and concern, saying 'Oh gosh. I don't know if that was me or not but sorry if it was!' they claim.
In response, the woman allegedly replied that she was 'into it'.
In another message in early May, the attorneys claim, she sent him another message saying ''pink socks' come 'offffff when its time to choke me out.''
When Bauer allegedly replied asking if she wanted 'to go out', she replied that it 'was a game changer' and that she had '[n]ever been more turned on in my life', the documents claim.
