Former NFL player Steve Smith Sr is being sued in North Carolina for allegedly having an affair with a married Baltimore Ravens marching band member.
The band member’s husband, Antonio Martinez, is asking for over $100,000 in damages according to a civil lawsuit that was filed this week at the Mecklenburg County Superior Court.
Martinez is exploring a legal loophole of sorts in North Carolina, which is only one of six states in the United States with the so-called ‘Homewrecker law’, known officially as the ‘alienation of affecation’ law.
It allows a spouse to sue a third party for destroying a marriage.
Back in February, allegations first emerged about the 45-year-old Smith when an account seemingly belonging to Martinez shared a screenshot of an array of text messages appearing to confront Smith. The post has since been deleted.
