Former NFL star Eric Moulds is being sued for “intentionally” giving multiple women an incurable STD. The lawsuit claims he specifically targeted Buffalo Bills fans.
Moulds, who played wide receiver for 12 seasons for the Bills, Houston Texans, and Tennessee Titans, is being sued by a woman from Tonawanda, New York for allegedly giving her herpes simplex virus type 2. She claims in the lawsuit that he “knew, or should have known he had a sexually transmitted disease.”
She also also claims Moulds’ fiancee, who he had been in a relationship with for eight years and was pregnant at the time, contacted her, telling her, “she should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases because she, along with other women whom Defendant had relationships with, had been transmitted diseases by him.”
The lawsuit also alleges Moulds was “sued by several women for knowingly spreading herpes over a decade ago,” but he paid them off and made them sign nondisclosure agreements to keep them quiet. She claims he made a similar offer to her as well, which she turned down.
“I think about women that may be in the same situation I am, and I know what I would have liked to have seen for myself,” she told the Buffalo News this week.
The alleged victim also stated in her lawsuit that Eric Moulds “targeted single mothers who were Buffalo Bills fans living in Western New York.”

According to the lawsuit filed on Dec. 10, Moulds began contacting the woman on Instagram back in 2018. In December 2023, their exchanges moved into text messages that eventually evolved into a “long-term romantic relationship.” Moulds apparently offered up his services as an athletic trainer and paid for the woman to travel from her home in upstate New York to his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. But rather than engage in any fitness training, the two “developed a sexual relationship.”
Eric Moulds’ attorney, Frank LoTempio III, told the Buffalo News that his client is innocent of the accusations that have been levied in the lawsuit. He also claimed Moulds had yet to be served with the lawsuit.
“I will respond once we get properly served, and defend this, probably to the point of a trial,” LoTempio said.
Speaking to Law & Crime, LoTempio reiterated, “We are in the process of gathering information and responding to the complaint, which we will vigorously defend. I will have more information and comments once the litigation process starts.”
