Good question, I think too much time passed and these girls started comparing notes? Preciptating the civil action.

Pure speculation on my part.

In text exchanges between Millsaps and Haas, the Purdue star expressed concern that he might be criminally prosecuted for not being honest about his infection, according to the filing. Haas also said he had to deny knowing he was infected.

 

Intentional or Reckless

You can be convicted of the criminal transmission of an STD only if you cause someone else to be infected intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly. For example, if you have been diagnosed with an STD and later engage in sexual relations with someone else without telling that person you have the disease, you can be convicted of this crime if that person becomes infected. (A 2013 Georgia case dealt with this kind of scenario.) However, if you are unknowingly infected with an STD, you cannot be found guilty of this crime. In order to convict you, a prosecutor must be able to show that you knew you had the disease and you intentionally exposed someone else to danger. Alternately, a prosecutor can show that, while knowing you had the disease, you were indifferent to the risk of exposing someone else and engaged in contact that recklessly endangered the other person.

Penalties

If you are convicted of knowingly transmitting an STD, you face a number of potentially very serious criminal penalties. State laws categorize this crime as either a felony or misdemeanor offense, and the potential penalties differ significantly depending on the state where it occurs. Regardless of the state, all criminal sentences involve the same potential types of penalties.

  • Jail or prison. A misdemeanor conviction for transmission of an STD can result in a sentence of up to one year in jail, while a felony conviction has a maximum penalty of a year or more in prison. Potential prison sentences for this crime differ significantly, and while some states impose a potential maximum sentence of up to one year in jail for the transmission of any STD, other states allow for as much as a life sentence in prison where a person knowingly transmits HIV.
  • Fines. You can also be fined if you are convicted of either a felony or misdemeanor transmission of an STD crime. Misdemeanor fines are typically up to $1,000. Like jail sentences, however, state differences are extreme, with possible felony fines going as high as $50,000.
  • Restitution. Restitution payments can also be made a part of transmission of an STD sentence. Restitution payments go towards any victims to compensate them for the losses they have incurred, and can differ widely among cases. Restitution must be paid in addition to any fines imposed by the court.
  • Probation. In addition to, or instead of, a jail or prison sentence, courts can also sentence someone convicted of unlawful transmission of an STD to a probation term. Probation usually lasts one to three years, though longer terms are possible. Those on probation must comply with the court's probation conditions. These conditions can differ between cases, but commonly include regularly reporting to a probation officer, paying all required fines and restitution, submitting to random home searches, not breaking any more laws, and not leaving the jurisdiction without first obtaining permission from the probation officer or the court.
  • Sex offender registration. Someone convicted of the criminal transmission of an STD will also have to sign up for the state's sex offender registry. Sex offender registration requirements differ by state, but someone on the sex offender registration list can remain there for 25 years or longer. Registrants have a difficult if not impossible time obtaining housing and work--in many ways, registration is the worst possible sentence.

Definitely about the cash, bet that was the whole point and others coming forward.

Potentially get very ugly.

Word on the street, Ike had relations all the damn time and the noise travelled throughout the dormitory.

Its very hard to have a relationship in today world. Everything is very touchy so to speak. But if he has a STD you have to tell the people your sleeping with. But the school according to the article I read cleared him. So now the school is involved in the lawsuit

The sports medicine staff at Purdue has come under fire previously. Once with Harbaugh and the Wolverines. The bodies will stack up if this goes forward.

Isn't that the point of a civil suit, to seek monetary compensation from someone who has harmed you?

Yes of course. But how long ago did this event happen? I dont remember from the article. And she wants money as soon as he's about to get drafted and make big money? Timing seems fishy
