The Sun obtained the 40-page lawsuit filed in which shows Bauer is suing for damages.
The stated that Defendant, Ms. Hill, “fabricated allegations of sexual assault against Plaintiff Trevor Bauer."
The document alleges that his accuser "pursued bogus criminal and civil actions against him, made false and malicious statements about him and generated a media blitz based on her lies.”
The court document alleges that the San Diego woman intended to “destroy” Bauer’s reputation and baseball career and gain millions of dollars from him.
Niranjan Fred Thiagarajah was also named in the suit and accused of spreading Ms. Hill's “false and misleading allegations” to the media and claiming that Bauer had “just brutalized” his accuser.
'MISLEADING ALLEGATIONS'
In response to the District Attorney's declination announcement on February 8, Bauer posted a video response on YouTube entitled 'The Truth'.
He told followers: "The investigation has been extremely thorough and both the Pasadena Police and the District Attorney’s office have access to much more information than has been made public at this point.
"During the investigation, I've watched many draw premature conclusions based on an absurd amount of misinformation and false claims that have been circulated with absolutely no corroboration."

He went on: "While this is not the time or the place to address every single lie or falsehood that this woman or her lawyers made to the court, I do want to be crystal clear about a few things.
"I never punched this woman in the face. I never punched her in the vagina. I never scratched her face. I never had anal sex with her or sodomized her in any way.
"I never assaulted her in any way at any time. While we did have consensual rough sex, the disturbing acts and conduct that she described simply did not occur."
Dodgers star Bauer, 31, was accused of choking Ms Hill into unconsciousness and punching her in two sexual encounters - with shocking images released to the media of her alleged injuries.
He was placed on leave from MLB in July 2021, and that leave was extended in early September, taking him out of the remainder of the 2021 season.
It was recently extended again but ends on Friday, April 29.
In August, the woman who accused him of assault was denied a restraining order following a four-day court battle.
The court witnessed Ms. Hill deliver approximately 12 hours of emotional testimony before a judge ruled against a permanent order of protection.
";In this case, the court finds there is no supporting evidence that Bauer would cause any harm or even have contact with her," Judge Dianna Gould-Saltman determined.
The judge ruled that "being punched, having black eyes, and being hospitalized" are consequences of the acts that she consented to.
A statement from Jon Fetterolf and Rachel Luba, Bauer’s agents, read at the time: "Mr. Bauer agreed to extend his administrative leave through the playoffs in a measure of good faith and in an effort to minimize any distraction to the Dodgers organization and his teammates.
"He continues to cooperate with the MLB investigation and refute the baseless allegations against him.”

His representatives added: "Again, by definition, administrative leave is neither a disciplinary action nor does it in any way reflect a finding in the league’s investigation."
Bauer played one season with the Reds before signing a three-year deal worth over $100million with the LA Dodgers in 2021.
