The baseball season is just barely over, and we already have some scandalous news. Baseball bad boy Yasiel Puig allegedly committed sexual battery against a woman in October 2018 according to TMZ.
The alleged incident occurred at a Los Angeles Lakers game while Puig was under contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was later traded to the Cincinnati Reds in December 2018.

Via TMZ:
The woman behind the lawsuit is using the pseudonym Jane Roe to protect her identity — but claims Puig assaulted her at Staples Center on Oct 31, 2018.
In the docs, the woman alleged, “she was forced into a bathroom and Yasiel Puig grabbed at her trying to take her clothes off, touched her sexual organs during this struggle, and eventually pinned her with 1 arm and used his other to stroke his own penis, exposing himself, and eventually ejaculating.” The woman says in her lawsuit, she was “simply heading to use the bathroom” — and did not go to the restroom with the intention of having a sexual encounter with Puig. In her lawsuit, the woman does not say whether she went to law enforcement after the alleged incident — we’re digging to find out.
The date of the alleged assault correlates with a Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks game at Staples Center.
According to TMZ, the plaintiff is suing Puig for sexual battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and false imprisonment. TMZ wrote that Puig did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The article also alleges in the court documents that Puig “forced (her) into a bathroom” and then assaulted her. It is unclear if a criminal complaint was filed. The woman does not specify an exact amount she’s asking for but it notes it’s more than $50,000.
Sounds like a money grab.
