A married Texas megachurch pastor, Ralph Douglas West II, has been ordered to pay a woman he met on Facebook $2.45 million after giving her herpes. West, the assistant pastor at The Church Without Walls in Houston, was found guilty of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fraudulent concealment. The jury determined that he gave the victim genital herpes after they met online five years ago. The victim's attorney stated that West admitted he had herpes from his son's mother. West will have to pay $1.45 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in exemplary damages, the largest payment ordered in such a case.
