Allegations that Blue Jays star Edwin Encarnacion knowingly infected a family friend with sexually transmitted diseases are “frivolous” and “meritless,” his agent said Tuesday.
Ashley Lebron, 24, alleges in civil lawsuit filed in U.S. court that she contracted genital herpes — a non-curable STD — and chlamydia, which is curable, after having unprotected sex on three occasions with Encarnacion in the Dominican Republic in February 2016.
Lebron is seeking $11.5 million in damages, alleging Encarnacion, 33, inflicted “bodily harm” by having unprotected sex that exposed her to the STDs without disclosing his infectious condition.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
