Linebacker Trevis Smith of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and formerly of the University of Alabama allegedly had unprotected sex with a woman without telling her he was HIV positive. The complaint was filed on Oct. 29, one day after Smith was charged with aggravated sexual assault in British Columbia.
He is scheduled to be tried on the first charge next spring.
When he was freed on bail last month, Smith was ordered to practice safe sex, tell all future partners he's HIV positive and surrender his passport. He faces similar restrictions in the second case.
Smith was placed on the Roughriders' disabled list after his initial arrest.
