If you wake up the morning after a one-night stand with a little something more than a hangover, should you able to sue the person who slapped you with that nasty case of crotch cooties? A 56-year-old woman in Riverside County, Calif., was recently awarded over $7 million after contracting genital herpes from a partner, a 77-year-old man who had genital herpes for over 25 years and failed to mention it.
The man also failed to use a condom, so now the woman has genital herpes, too, and said she was denied health insurance after contracting the sexually transmitted disease.
This isn’t the first time the STD has infected the court system — celebs from Michael Vick to Robin Williams to David Hasselhoff have been sued for passing along the disease.
Call us crazy, but isn’t it the responsibility of both partners to insist on safe sex? And for $7 million, couldn’t you live with some occasional itching and burning?
What a great precedent, and right here in california. Someone callthis lawyer and get him to porn valley. Imagine, a porn performer who knows he or she has herpes working with someone and only showing a test for HIV, gonn/chlam, and neglecting to show his or her positive herpes status. A goldmine I tell you, a goldmine.
Yeah General You’re right on that one!!! $$$$$$$ and out there in California there is a lot of Herepes flyin around right now. We had a girl from LA here in Ft. Lauderdale come to a “shoot” with a outbreak on her face and mouth…..Director said “Go back to California until that clears up we can’t have all that shit from Cali coming out here unless cleared. Lawyers will be suing both Peformers and Producers and makin BANK$$$.
If every whore who got herpes from Brandon Iron were going to sue him, he would have ended up eating from dumpsters and sleeping under the bridge. Not that these days he’s doing any better anyway.
Thanks Colonel, when I see Herpes I immediately think of Mr Iron, kind of like Bukkake, one thinks of Steele, Jim Powers, Johnny Thrust and of course bogus robbery.
Herpes and porn are like peanut butter and jelly. You cant have one without the other. Creamy or chunky.
