On Monday, TMZ Sports reported that Edwin Encarnacion was being sued by a 24-year-old woman who alleged that he knowingly gave her two sexually transmitted diseases. The reported lawsuit included “battery, misrepresentation of the facts and more.”
The woman alleges that this took place in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in February and is suing for a reported $11.5 million USD.
The following is what we know as of Tuesday afternoon.
Edwin Encarnacion’s agent, Paul Kinzer, released a statement to Sportsnet this morning that reads as follows: “(Encarnacion) will take every legal measure to defend himself against this frivolous claim, and will bring appropriate claims in the appropriate forums against all of the individuals seeking to exploit his financial position,” Kinzer continued.
