Herpes simplex type 2 spreads through sexual contact and causes genital herpesaccording to the World Health Organization. It is treatable, but not curable.
The lawsuit stated that Moulds’ pregnant fiancée contacted the plaintiff and recommended she get tested for STDs, and that the plaintiff became aware of other women through social media who claimed to have contracted STDs from the former NFL player player.
“I think about women who might be in the same situation as me, and I know what I would have liked to see with my own eyes,” she told the Buffalo News.
Frank LoTempio III, who represents Moulds, told the newspaper that the allegations against his client are false.
