Xavien Howard‘s free agency now includes a legal aspect. The veteran corner has been named in a civil suit filed in Broward County, Florida in May, as detailed by Saira Anwer and Ryan Mackey of ABC Local 10 News. 
Howard is accused of sending photos and videos of sexual acts involving women without their consent. The suit alleges he filmed and photographed one of the plaintiffs (‘Jane Doe’) performing sex acts without consent. Howard then circulated that explicit content to the public after she rejected his advances, the suit claims.
The other plaintiff in the suit (‘John Doe’) alleges that Howard impregnated his mother then demanded she have an abortion. Her refusal to do so resulted in sexually explicit material allegedly being texted to her son, who was a minor at the time. The suit further details that Jane Doe is seeking damages in excess of $50K.
In the event this matter were to be taken to criminal court, Howard could face charges of sexual cyber harassment, invasion of privacy by public disclosure of private facts and intrusion of privacy. The plaintiffs have not, however, pressed criminal charges at this time. Still, this marks the latest legal battle the 30-year-old has faced. Howard has been involved in a number of previous criminal and civil cases featuring allegations including stalking, negligence and domestic battery.
This offseason, the Dolphins released Howard in a cost-cutting move and he remains on the open market. The four-time Pro Bowler has not generated much in the way of known interest so far, but he has received medical clearance. The news of his involvement in this civil suit could result in a league investigation and give potential suitors reason to avoid pursuing a contract for at least the time being. Howard’s playing future will remain uncertain pending further developments in this case.
What nice guy.
Well this definitely takes the cake of strangest thing a player has done all off season
Read the headline and was like
Did he grape someone?
Did he beat someone?
Did he gamble?
Did he file a race lawsuit like that coach of the dolphins did?
Sending inappropriate photos and videos definitely wasn’t top 10 of guesses before reading.
There is still time for something stranger to come.
We have to wait until 2025 for season 5
What a thorough level of scumbaggery.
future Chief
Used to be future Cowboy. But you’re right, future Chief is appropriate now.
Tony Buzzbee is going to have himself quite a large client list thanks to NFL players.
“Tell your mama to off your unborn sibling or I’ll send you pics of her melons” (or thereabouts) is one hell of a text to hit send on.
Perhaps some life coaching…
What happened to those good old days when you could send a subtle message to someone by placing a horse head in their bed?
Gross.
Damn Howard always seemed like a quiet dude.
How old is the woman to have a non minor child now!? Gotta be 6-8 years older.
Either way Howard weird to be texting the kid that stuff.
How does a guy facing previous charges including stalking and battery, taken from article seem like a quiet one. This guy has issues.
The type of person who tries to manipulate the world around them by fear and intimidation is a dangerous person indeed.
Its not even a one time thing, he has a history of alarming behavior from what it sounds like.
If he never plays again in the NFL it wouldn’t surprise me, this guy is a walking red flag.
Noticing s trend among these low character men in the league.
That is?
I’ll let others find their own trends.
No, no. I implore you to be explicit
Just seems to be a lot more frequent discretions being committed than in past years.
Do you think that might be because our coverage of these transgressions is more detailed and available than in year’s past?
Easily. A lot of them seem more egregious than ever though.
True: this one in particular is pretty disgusting
Off the top of my head some sad ones are this, Adrian peterson, tyreek hill, ruggs, and a few others.
Some previous ones that are drug related and the DUIs that didn’t result in horrible results were just tallied up but these new ones are stacking quickly.
XXXavien sounds like a dandy
