NFL free agent Xavien Howard is under investigation for allegedly sending a boy nude photos of his own mother because she refused to get an abortion.

According to Dolphinswire.com, 2 women sued Howard in 2023 for sending them sexually explicit content.

One of the women claimed that she dated the ex-NFL player in 2022. After the relationship ended on a sour note, โ€œJane Doeโ€ said she received a direct message on Instagram from a woman who claimed she was sent โ€œseveral sexually explicit videosโ€ of Howard having sex with various women, including Jane Doe.

The woman on Instagram told Doe that Howard sent her the videos โ€œto make her mad because she didnโ€™t want to have sex with him.โ€

In new court documents, obtained by the Miami Herald, attorneys allege that Howard also sent sexually explicit content to a womanโ€™s son after she refused to get an abortion. The attorneys have petitioned for the minor to be allowed to sue Howard and be added to the lawsuit.

โ€œThis behavior is abhorrent, especially sending that to a child,โ€ attorney Adriana Alcalde told the Miami Herald.

Howard, a 30-year-old cornerback, was picked by the Miami Dolphins in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft. The 4-time Pro Bowler and 2-time All-Pro member led the league in interceptions twice.

He was released by the Dolphins in March and is currently a free agent.
