Miami Dolphins CB Xavien Howard Sued By Woman For Giving Her An �Incurable' STD
The Miami Dolphins have dealt with their fair share of controversy this season and they aren't done yet.
According to the Sun Sentinel, a female has filed a lawsuit against Dolphins cornerback Xavien Award as she alleges he gave her genital herpes, which is an incurable sexually transmitted disease (STD).
In the lawsuit filed in the 17th Judicial Circuit Court in Broward County, Florida, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, the woman, listed as Jane Doe, alleges Howard knowingly gave her an STD during the course of a multiyear sexual relationship.
The lawsuit states Doe and Howard met in February 2018, when Howard asked her on a date and provided a copy of the negative results of a recent STD test. It alleges Howard contracted the STD the following year and failed to inform Doe and continued a sexual relationship with her.
It's really an awful move by Howard, as the woman is now forced to live with an incurable disease. According to the complaint it has caused her «mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, and past and future medical expenses.»
The attorney representing the woman is confident that they'll be able to prove that Howard was negligent in his actions.
«She's looking forward to proving what we have alleged, and we expect just based on the reckless conduct in which he's engaged that she won't be the only person making similar allegations,» the woman's attorney Brad Edwards said. «I would be surprised if she is.»
