A 33 year-old-Wisconsin woman is suing a 35-year-old man for $350,000, claiming that he knowingly gave her genital herpes.

Both parties, neither of whom is named in a Janesville Gazette story, are married to other people, though according to WTAQ they had dated in the late ’90s. They started a flirtatious relationship in 2009 which crescendoed in a night of romance in the man’s pick-up truck (Well, I don’t know about how romantic it was but apparently they got it on.) The man denies giving her the STD but she claims that he and her husband of eight years were her only partners; and that her husband has been hesitant to have sex with her since the herpes diagnosis.

According to CriminalDefenseLawyer.com, Wisconsin, along with many other states, doesn’t have a specific statute against transmitting STDs. The site does have a handy chart to let you know the legal standards there are in your state if, indeed, there are any.

Just another example, perhaps, of why it’s sometimes good to leave the past in the past.
