Wife Sues Philandering Investment Banker Husband For Giving Her Genital Warts
File this in the more-than-we-needed-to-know department: The wife of an investment banker (soon to be ex-husband; they're in the midst of a divorce, thankfully) alleges that he spent his downtime on business trips engaging in unprotected sex with hookers--and that the present he brought back for her was HPV.
NY Post: A Manhattan woman has filed a $25 million lawsuit against her allegedly hooker-loving husband, charging he gave her sexually transmitted diseases that ruined her life.
In papers filed in state Supreme Court, Stephanie Lerner said she was infected with "several severe incurable strains of the human papilloma virus" as a result of the affairs conducted by her husband, Mark, a venture capitalist.
Stephanie, an author and former television producer, said her condition got so bad, she had to undergo several operations.
The suit accuses Lerner of failing to warn his wife of 16 years that he'd had "numerous encounters of unprotected sexual relations with commercial sex workers in China and Japan, as well as an ongoing affair with Jane Doe in New York.
But apart from his sexual history, what else do we know about this Mark Lerner? A lot, courtesy of his bio on the Web site for Morgen, Evan & Co., the investment bank where he currently serves as president.

Suit claims hubby got STDs from hookers
NEW YORK, July 31 (UPI) -- A New York woman is suing her husband after he allegedly gave her a sexually transmitted disease he contracted during sex with a prostitute.
Stephanie Lerner claimed in papers filed in the state Supreme Court that she became infected with "several severe incurable strains of the human papilloma virus" due to her husband's "numerous encounters of unprotected sexual relations with commercial sex workers in China and Japan, as well as an ongoing affair with Jane Doe in New York," the New York Post reported Thursday.
Lerner, who is seeking $25 million in damages, claimed the condition required her to undergo a partial vulvectomy that left her "permanently disfigured," the New York Sun reported.
Allan Morofsky, a lawyer for Lerner's husband, Mark, said he had not heard of the lawsuit but his client is currently undergoing a divorce.
