Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Eric Moulds is facing a lawsuit from a Western New York woman accusing him of knowingly transmitting an incurable sexually transmitted disease to her and others.
The complaint, filed Tuesday in New York State Superior Court, alleges Moulds infected the woman with herpes simplex virus Type 2 and targeted “single mothers who were Buffalo Bills fans.”
The plaintiff claims she first connected with Moulds on Instagram in 2019. Their online conversations continued for nearly four years until January 2023, when she accepted an offer for an “all-expenses-paid” trip to North Carolina. According to court documents, this visit marked the start of a sexual relationship that lasted until November 2023.
In December 2023, Moulds’ pregnant fiancée allegedly contacted the woman, warning her to get tested for sexually transmitted infections. The fiancée claimed Moulds had infected multiple women. Shortly after, the plaintiff began experiencing symptoms and tested positive for herpes. She asserts she had no other sexual partners during that time.
The lawsuit accuses Moulds of a history of similar behavior, stating that he had been sued by other women over a decade ago for knowingly spreading herpes. The plaintiff claims Moulds attempted to “buy her silence” by offering financial compensation and alleges previous accusers were paid off and forced to sign nondisclosure agreements.
Moulds’ attorney, Frank LoTempo III, dismissed the allegations, calling them “false.”
“We are in the process of gathering information and will vigorously defend against these claims,” LoTempo said in a statement to Newsweek. “More details will emerge as the litigation progresses.”
Despite the legal challenges, Moulds remains a beloved figure among Buffalo Bills fans. He spent 10 seasons with the team, amassing 675 catches for 9,096 yards and 48 touchdowns. He earned three Pro Bowl selections during his career before retiring after the 2007 season.
The lawsuit has sparked conversations about health, trust, and accountability. Local resident and Bills fan Angela Perez shared her perspective:
“It’s heartbreaking to hear something like this about someone we all looked up to. If the allegations are true, it’s a huge betrayal of trust.”
Experts note that herpes simplex virus Type 2 is incurable but manageable with treatment. Dr. Karen Simmons, an infectious disease specialist, emphasized the importance of transparency in relationships:
“Honest communication about health is essential. These situations highlight the need for regular testing and openness with partners.”
As the legal battle unfolds, it remains unclear how these allegations will affect Moulds’ legacy. For now, the case serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of health-related dishonesty.
