PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — A lawyer said a Riverside County jury has awarded nearly $7 million to a 56-year-old woman who was unknowingly infected with herpes by a 77-year-old man.Attorney Shaun Murphy, who represented the plaintiff, said the defendant knew he had genital herpes for more than 25 years but did not disclose it before his sexual relationship with the woman and did not use a condom."

Absurdity.
I had no idea that you could sue someone for leaving out the fact that they have an incurable disease and get seven million for it. But honestly, that's the least she could have gotten out of the deal. Even at 56-years-old you should be able to play with other elders and not have to worry that after 77 years guys still haven't matured enough to tell you if they have an STD. I'm just sayin'.
Oh well, she's 7 million bucks richer. Cha-ching. All's well that ends well I guess.
