Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard before the game against the New York Jets at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023, in Miami Gardens. A negligence lawsuit against Howard alleging he transmitted genital herpes to a woman has been dismissed.
Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard filmed himself having sex with a woman and shared the videos with other people, according to a lawsuit filed in Broward Circuit Court.
Because of the nature of the allegations, the plaintiff identified herself as “Jane Doe” in the lawsuit she filed in May. The woman said she dated Howard during the first half of 2022 and engaged in sexual relations with him. There are no allegations that the sex was anything but consensual.
Filming it, on the other hand, was another story.
“Several of the videos are of Jane Doe and directly identify her,” according to the lawsuit. “Defendant non-consensually recorded sex acts between himself and Jane Doe and non-consensually disseminated these sex videos to a third party … The videos of Jane Doe depict hardcore, full on sexual intercourse with defendant and are terribly devastating to her.”
The suit seeks more than $50,000 in damages for invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress.
The plaintiff said she found out about the recordings when she received messages on Instagram from a third party. Read more
