Jays slugger to fight STD claim: Agent
Toronto Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion returns to the dug out at the end of second inning in a game against the Los Angeles Angels in Toronto on Aug. 23. (THE CANADIAN PRESS)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.
