Former wife of New Yorks Mets Roberto Alomer has filed a lawsuit claiming he had unprotected sex with her even though he knew he was HIV-positive. A former girlfriend of the Mets second baseman filed a $15M suit on the same grounds last year and settled out of court.
"Prior to the marriage" in 2009, the suit says, Alomar assured his wife "he had been tested for sexually transmitted diseases and the tests were negative." At some point after their wedding, she discovered that wasn't true, the filing says. She "learned from conclusive proof" that he was HIV-positive, the court papers say. The discovery caused her to "suffer extreme emotional distress, fear and mental anguish," the filing says. She has "not contracted the virus to date but uncertainty still exists due to the delay in the onset of the virus." Lawyers for the Alomars did not return calls for comment. Rivera's filing says she wouldn't have agreed to "marry him if she had known of his true physical condition."
Alomar has consistently denied that he is HIV-positive.
