Trevor Bauer’s accuser is charged in Arizona for allegedly trying to extort ‘$3.6 million’ from an ex-MLB star and another man – as the pitcher claims she pretended to abort a fraudulent pregnancy as part of his blackmail scheme.

An Arizona woman has been indicted by a Maricopa County grand jury on fraud and extortion charges involving former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer and another man, although the exact allegations remain unclear For now.

That 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 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 contacted another lawyer who represents Esemonu in his sexual assault lawsuit against Bauer in Arizona, but has not yet received a response.

This 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 had asked him for $3.6 million for allegedly pressuring her to have an abortion – a claim he denies to several levels.

“But here’s the thing: She never had an abortion, because she was never even pregnant, and that’s supported by her own medical records,” Bauer said. “When I refused to pay her the $3.6 million she demanded, she fabricated a false sexual assault claim and filed a civil suit against me.”

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

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

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

“It’s a photo and a text message that she sent me the next morning explaining why she hit on 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 whenever she wants” in the future.

According to Bauer’s explanation in his five-minute YouTube clip, the two had a sexual relationship, which he claims was initiated by Esemonu (pictured).

Bauer shared a screenshot, claiming it was sent to him by Esemonu and adding that it hurt his case.

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

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

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 countersued him for his allegations of sexual assault.

Bauer was never charged with a crime in the case and maintained his innocence, while insisting Hill was trying to blackmail him.

An alleged message sent by Hill to a friend, which Bauer previously revealed, reads: “Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers.

Bauer previously claimed she said he was her “next victim” in a text sent “before she even met me” and was advised to “take his money.”

Although Hill acknowledged that “victim” was the wrong choice of word, she claimed that she used it in a joking manner, primarily because of her history of hanging out with baseball players. (She has also been linked to San Diego Padres slugger Fernando Tatis Jr.)

“That was exactly what Trevor wanted to do, was randomly pick three or four texts and put them into a narrative where I looked horrible,” she said on “Prime Time with Alex Stein “.

Esemonu is also accused of defrauding another man. She faces up to 16 years in prison

“I explained it in my deposition and in random things. I like to joke, I’m very sarcastic, sometimes inappropriate. Anyone who knows me knows that.

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

“They both asked their lawyers initially for over $3 million not to make it public,” he said. “In both cases, it was only after I refused to pay any money that their lawyers made anonymous statements to the media. They both had the opportunity to file a complaint against me. None of them did. They both had the opportunity to file a civil suit against me. None of them did. They both had the opportunity to participate in the civil lawsuit filed by Lindsey Hill against me. They could even have done it anonymously. They both refused.

As for Esemonu, Bauer accuses her of being a fraudster who accuses men of sexual assault to make money.

“His mo is clear,” he says. “Lie to men to get their money. Extort 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 action against them to retaliate.

Esemonu’s next hearing is April 26. His civil case against Bauer currently has no further hearings scheduled.
