A federal judge in Kalamazoo, Mich., has ordered that Magic Johnson be officially listed as the defendant in a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims he gave her HIV.
Until now, Johnson was listed as Richard Roe in the lawsuit, although he publicly acknowledged he was the defendant and that he had a one-time sexual encounter with the woman in June, 1990.
The woman’s name will remain shielded by the court to protect her privacy. The divorced mother, listed only as Jane Doe, is suing for $2 million.
