Michael Vick Hit With Sex Suit
Woman claims star NFL quarterback passed along herpes in 2003

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, 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.

I was thinking the exact same thing as BIM. How does she not know better?

According to the court records they had protected sex...till the last time he tried to make his move without a condom. She stopped him - but not before 'contact' was made...

Sure she can. If Vick knowingly had unprotected sex without saying what he had its reckless something or other. Just like you must say you have AIDS if you are going to have sex.

Not really the same. Aids is a life threatening disease. Herpes isnt. Herpes is an annoyance.

There is a certain level of expected risk factor if you are having sex. Especially unprotected sex. That is a risk that is assumed.

Ryan,

I wouldnt call settling out of court precidence. That could just mean that Robinson didnt want it drawn out or the embarrasment of going to trial possibly. Doesnt mean he would have lost the case!

lol...true herpes isn't a killer....but it certainly is a life altering experience in a negative way!

Having a chick tell you she has herpes certainly has to rank in the 3 of turnoffs!

Want I really want to know is why is this even news. Do we really need to know that they had sex and she got herpes. Just because he is a football player we got to know this?

I realize that, but my question is.. is it really necessary? Just seems like a chance to rip the guy.

In todays society this negative stuff comes with all the perks of being high profile.

and yes It definately is a chance. :D
