A Buffalo Bills fan has accused an ex-star player of intentionally infecting her with herpes — and targeting several other women.
The woman filed a lawsuit against former wide receiver Eric Moulds, claiming he pursued a sexual relationship with her while he knew he had the sexually transmitted disease, the website Law & Crime reported.
The lawsuit claims he did the same with several others, and specifically “targeted single mothers who were Buffalo Bills fans living in Western New York.”
The lawsuit was filed this week.
It claims Moulds contacted the woman on Instagram in 2018, and it evolved into a “long-term relationship.”
The woman said she tested positive for the disease after their last sexual encounter in November last year.
“Since the woman had been exclusively seeing Moulds, she concluded that she contracted the disease from him, but he allegedly never disclosed that he had an STD,” Law & Crime reported.
The lawsuit reads, “The woman also learned that Moulds had a “pregnant fiancée with whom he had been in a relationship for eight years.” The fiancee told the alleged victim that “she should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases because she, along with other women whom Defendant had relationships with, had been transmitted diseases by him.

“Plaintiff subsequently learned that Defendant had also engaged with multiple women besides Plaintiff via social media. Based upon information and belief, Defendant targeted single mothers who were Buffalo Bills fans living in Western New York.”
Moulds “was also sued by several women for knowingly spreading herpes over a decade ago,” the lawsuit adds. It says those cases resulted in payment and nondisclosure agreements.
Moulds is being sued for negligence and intentional causes of action, failure to disclose, and infliction of emotional distress, Law & Crime reported.
Moulds’ attorney told Law & Crime, “We are in the process of gathering information and responding to the complaint, which we will vigorously defend. I will have more information and comments once the litigation process starts.”
