Trevor Bauer accuser indicted in Arizona for allegedly trying to extort ‘$3.6 million’ from former MLB star and another man – as pitcher claims she pretended to terminate a fraudulent pregnancy as part of her extortion scheme

An Arizona woman has been indicted by a Maricopa County grand jury on fraud and racketeering charges involving former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer and another man, though the exact allegations remain unclear at this time.

The woman, Darcy Adanna Esemonu, was indicted last month on allegations that she “knowingly obtained an advantage from Marco Bresciant and Trevor Anthony Bauer by means of fraudulent pretenses, representations, promises or material omissions,” according to the indictment. DailyMail.com. Esemonu faces up to 16 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

Esemonu does not have a criminal lawyer listed in this case. DailyMail.com contacted another attorney representing Esemonu in her ongoing sexual assault case against Bauer in Arizona, but has yet to receive 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 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 pregnant herself, and that is confirmed by her own medical records,” Bauer said. ‘When I refused to pay her the $3.6 million she asked for, she made a false claim of sexual assault and filed a civil suit against me.’

According to Bauer’s explanation in his five-minute YouTube clip, the two had a sexual encounter that he insists was initiated by her.

“We had a normal sexual encounter in December 2020, nothing that could be considered very rough,” he said. “She started it, but don’t take my word for it, take hers.”

Bauer then proceeds to share alleged electronic communications between the two.

“This is a picture and a text she sent me the next morning to explain why she came to me,” he said. “And for months afterward, she repeatedly asked to sleep with me again. For example, this text, from January 7, 2021. At one point, she even asked for a sample of my sperm so she could ”have my child, when she would” in the future.’

Throughout his YouTube clip, Bauer continues to link Esemonu’s lawsuit to the one previously filed — and dismissed — by prosecutor Lindsey Hill.

“It’s hard to keep track, but she’s made at least four seven-figure claims over the last few years,” he said. ‘More than a year after the one time we slept together – and only after Lindsey Hill made her false allegations – Adanna retained a lawyer.’

Bauer was previously placed on administrative leave and suspended by Major League Baseball following allegations of sexual assault by Hill, who was sued by the pitcher for defamation and later contradicted him over her sexual battery claims.

Bauer was never charged with a crime in that case and has maintained his innocence while insisting that Hill planned to blackmail him.

An alleged text sent from Hill to a friend, which Bauer previously revealed, reads: ‘Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers.’

Bauer previously claimed she made the statement that he was her ‘next victim’ in a text sent ‘before she ever met me’ and that she was advised to ‘take his money’.

While Hill acknowledged that ‘victim’ wasn’t the right word choice, she claimed that she used it in a way that she was joking, mainly because of her history of dating baseball players. (She has also been linked to San Diego Padres slugger Fernando Tatis Jr.)

“That’s exactly what Trevor would do was pick three or four lyrics at random and weave it into a narrative where I just look terrible,” she said on “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”

‘I explained it in my deposition and random stuff. I like to joke, I am very sarcastic, sometimes inappropriate. Anyone who knows me would know that.’

Two unidentified women have also accused Bauer of sexual assault, but he denied their allegations in Tuesday’s YouTube clip.

“They both had lawyers’ initial claims of over $3 million for ‘non-disclosure,'” he said. “In both cases, after I refused to pay any amount of money, their lawyers made anonymous allegations in the media. They both had to file a criminal case against me. Neither of them had the option of filing a civil suit against me. Neither of them had the option of joining Lindsey Hill’s civil case .They could have even done that anonymously.’

As for Esemonu, Bauer accuses her of being a fraud who accuses men of sexual assault for income.

“Her mother is ready,” he said. ‘Lie to men to get their money. Blackmail them if she must. When they refuse to pay, stop paying, or stop giving her what she wants, go to the police, accuse them of sexual assault, and file a civil suit against them to retaliate.’

Esemonu’s next court date is April 26. Her civil case against Bauer does not currently have another hearing scheduled.
