Daniel Ezra Merino of Spring Hill/ Tampa, Florida

Daniel Ezra Michael Merino (typically goes by Ezra), failed to disclose to me that he had genital herpes, resulting in me contracting it in the beginning of our relationship (2023). Once I went to the doctors and my test for HSV-2 came back positive, i brought it to Ezra's attention and asked if he knew he had the STD. He cried and told me "I should have been more careful with you." and denied that he ever knew he had it. Fast forward to a year and a half later, I have a conversation with the mother of his child and she tells me he gave her genital herpes in 2015!!

Ezra has shown a consistent pattern of manipulative and dishonest behavior throughout the time I knew him. He frequently love-bombed, used emotional manipulation, and misled me and others for his own benefit.

I am sharing this in hopes of protecting others from experiencing the same harm, both physically and emotionally.

I chose the picture of Ezra so he can be identified by some of his tattoos.
