jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0405051vick1.html APRIL 5--Claiming that Michael Vick gave her herpes, a Georgia woman is suing the star NFL quarterback for negligence and battery. According to the below lawsuit, Sonya Elliot, a 26-year-old health care worker, was infected with the sexually transmitted disease in April 2003 after an unprotected encounter with Vick at the athlete's Duluth, Georgia home. Elliott alleges that after testing positive for Herpes Simplex 2, she confronted the Atlanta Falcons star, 24, about her condition. "I've got something to tell you. I've got it," Vick admitted to her, according to Elliott's State Court complaint, which alleges that Vick then told her that "he had not known how to tell her about his condition, and that it was not something that he liked to talk about." Elliott's complaint also contends that Vick "apologized profusely" for not telling her he was infected with the STD. Elliot's lawsuit alleges that Vick has used the name "Ron Mexico" and, in a related court filing, her lawyers are seeking Vick's admission that he used the "Mexico" alias--and perhaps other fake names--"for the purpose of herpes testing and/or treatment." In her lawsuit, which does not specify monetary damages, Elliott states that she met Vick at a Virginia Beach nightclub in May 2001 and, shortly thereafter, began a close personal relationship with the football star (though the couple did not have sex until late-2002). Last December, Vick, the top overall pick in the 2001 National Football League draft, signed a ten-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons, the richest deal in league history. (17 pages) I would just like to point out that Ron Mexico is one of the greatest aliases of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason You can get custom jerseys... they just have to pass a screening process for potentially offensive names and terms. It took a fucking Act Of God for an LSU professor to get a replica Patriots jersey with Gay on the back and Randall Gay's number. He pretty much had to call up the main office of the NFL's merchandising arm and get them to temporarily let the name "Gay" through the system since Randall Gay is a legitimate player (and Super Bowl champ!). Something tells me that "Mexico" and "R. Mexico" will end up on the banned list very soon as a result of this. This is also going to make for an interesting set of signs whenever Atlanta comes to town... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I meant, but I probably didn't make it as clear as I should have. Anyway, this is a story that could be Kobe-lite if ESPN takes it and runs with it. Especially with the alias and trying to get around some legal issues. Jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Yeah really, the guy was an asshole enough to have sex with her unprotected with an STD. That's pretty low.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Still not a legitimate reason for a lawsuit. Like hell it's not. Tort of negligence. There's been a huge rise in non-disclosure of STDs as negligence cases in the past decade, and it's one of the most frequently won cases in civil courts. Vick won't get hit for anything off this, but regular people do all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 6, 2005 Well if it is something that someone can get prosecuted or taken to court for, then Vick is in deep shit, considering the lengths he went to to conceal his STD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2005 While Vick is not in the clear in this if he did her and knew he had herpes, she should've known better being that she was a health care worker. Unbelieveable. In this day and age, she should have had him wrap it up. She knew better. That should damage a civil suit, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
