On Thursday, a report from CBS News Miami found that the former first-team All-Pro cornerback is being sued for sexual misconduct after he allegedly sent explicit photos of multiple women, and even sent some videos, to the underage son of one of the victims because she did not want to get an abortion.
The two victims filing the lawsuit in Broward County, Florida, have only been identified as Jane and John Doe, and further add that Howard sent multiple photos and videos of two women having sex with him to humiliate them and cause emotional distress publicly.
More from CBS News Miami:
According to court documents, Howard and Jane Doe used to be in a sexual relationship; however, once she refused his advances, the former Miami Dolphin then publicly circulated sexually explicit videos of her without consent, leaving her “debased and utterly humiliated.”
Meanwhile, John Doe is the son of another woman who Howard was sexually involved with; after getting the woman pregnant, Howard allegedly demanded her to get an abortion and after her refusal, he went on a “warpath” against her. Among other “forms of revenge” toward the pregnant woman, Howard texted sexually explicit material of her to John Doe, who was underage at the time of the incident, causing emotional distress to him and his mom, court documents stated.
If he is found guilty, Howard could be charged with injunctive relief, intrusion of privacy, sexual cyberharassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy by public disclosure of private facts, according to CBS News Miami.
Howard, who was released in March by the Miami Dolphins, is still waiting to be signed by an NFL team after a down year in 2023. Prior to this off-season, he spent eight seasons with the team after being drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He made four pro bowls during that span.
