Lady Sues Jumpoff For Giving Her Herpes

An unnamed 33-year-old woman from Delavan, Wisc. has slapped a 35-year-old man, with whom she had a one-night stand with a $350,000 claiming he knowingly exposed her to herpes. The lawsuit says the man and woman were each married to other people when they began flirting in 2009. The woman says the two spent a day together in January 2010, culminating in sexual activity in the man's pickup truck.

The two spent the day together in Madison in January 2010. When they returned to Janesville, the man initiated physical contact by holding hands, which advanced to kissing in is pickup truck and escalated to sexual activity. The man knew the risk of transmitting the disease, making him responsible for personal injury, intentional infection, emotional distress and assault and battery, the woman alleges in the lawsuit. Symptoms of herpes include muscle ache, fever, fatigue, intense itching, redness and sores in genital regions. In May 2011, she asked Janesville police to arrest the man. The man has denied giving the woman herpes. He has told her to check with her other partners. The woman said her only partners were the man and her husband of nearly eight years. During a February 2011 telephone conversation, the man told the woman’s husband that he does not take medications to treat his herpes, according to the lawsuit. Medications could potentially have lowered the risk of transmitting the disease. The woman contends she has experienced panic attacks while driving with her spouse and children. Her spouse is reluctant to have normal sexual relations because of her diagnosis, she wrote.

While we could go off on this woman, we're gonna keep it tame because we don't know why she was cheating on her husband. But, who knows. Maybe she's get paid. In 2009, a jury awarded a woman almost $7 million after she sued her jumpoff for giving her herpes. So, at least these ladies chose to fight the matter in a court (albeit, civil court) and not take matters into their own hands, like this lady did.
