In the complaint, Elliott, 26, seeks damages, alleging negligence by Vick, unwanted physical contact, pain, suffering and potential future medical complications.

The dark side of Fornication.
Well, I've been slapped for that....it's a start.
I hear it was a problem with his foot...someting's drippin' on his foot. ;)
I have a feeling if Michael Vick were a bus driver, there would be no lawsuit.
I'm so sure Michael Vick 'knowingly' put himself in a position to be sued.
She alleges that the encounter was without a condom.
LOL!
Love may die, but herpes is forever.
"To quote another FReeper: hyperbole is not your friend."
What? You mean someone stole my line?
In any event I find the idea of litigating over contraction of non-lethal, non-debilitating std's to be simply wrong. How on earth do you establish who told whom what when, if ever?
As far as orgasms, I guess it would have to be in a state where prostitution was legal and the plaintiff was the john.
"She alleges that the encounter was without a condom."
Hopefully a court throws this out rather than allow a precedent for all kinds of post-relationship legal mischief.
"Um, didn't she kind of make herself available for the STD? Here's a clue--don't mess around, you won't get STD's."
You can save yourself for marriage, be 100% faithful in that marriage, and still get an STD. All it takes is for your spouse to cheat on you.
"my herpes is inactive this week."
You can catch herpes from someone even when they're not having an outbreak. I read somewhere that 1 in 5 adults has it. Yuck. Talk about Russian roulette.
But Vick is going to find out what Kobe is finding out. When you don't keep it in your pants, say goodbye to all that endorsement money.
He should have heeded Toby Keith's new song, "What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico." lol We need to alert Doug from Upland for a good parody song.
"Here's a clue--don't mess around, you won't get STD's."
Another thing I forgot to mention: herpes has been shown to survive in a hot tub environment, and there's been at least one documented case of a girl with eczema who contracted one of the benign strains from sharing a hot tub with someone who had fever blisters at the time. That's why I never go in hot tubs.
Maybe he will countersue and say he got it from her - unless he had herpes before he met her.
