Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard allegedly sent sexually explicit images of an ex-girlfriend to his teenage son in a failed attempt to pressure the woman into having an abortion, according to a court filing obtained by DailyMail.com.
The document was filed anonymously Thursday in Broward County, Florida, by the woman’s son, who was a minor at the time he allegedly received the explicit images of his mother from Howard.
Lawyers for Howard, 30, have not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. The Dolphins waived the four-time Pro Bowl selection in March to free up $18 million in cap space for next season.
John Doe’s attorneys, Cam Justice and Adriana Alcalde, are seeking permission for their client to sue Howard in Broward County as part of his mother’s pending lawsuit. Lawyers for the NFL free agent have repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to have the case dismissed and have accused Jane Doe of seeking a multimillion-dollar settlement.
Jane Doe’s high-profile lawsuit accuses Howard of taking sexually explicit videos of her and sharing them with others. But her son’s Thursday filing claims Howard “went up in arms” against Jane Doe after he tried, unsuccessfully, to pressure her into aborting a pregnancy. Seeking revenge, Howard sent explicit images of Jane Doe to his son, causing “significant emotional distress” for John Doe, now over 18 years old.
