FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Former Miami Dolphins star cornerback Xavien Howard has been accused of sending a male teenager a sexually explicit photo of the young man’s mother because she refused to get an abortion. The allegation was made Thursday in a lawsuit filed last year by a woman who accuses Howard of secretly recording them having sex and then sharing the recordings with others. Attorneys for the woman want the teenager added as a plaintiff against Howard, who was released this off-season by the Dolphins. The teenager is the son of another woman who attorneys say had a relationship and was recorded having sex with him. Howard’s attorneys deny the allegations.
