A Portland pimp who brutally stomped a man ‘s head and face with his Nike Jordan sneakers because the man tried to dash away without paying his prostitute for sex is suing Nike for $100 million for failing to label the shoe as a deadly weapon.
Yes, really.
Sirgiorgiro Clardy, 26, was convicted of second-degree assault and sentenced to 100 years in prison, reports Mediate. He kicked and stomped the man so badly that he required plastic surgery on his face. He also severely beat the 18-year-old woman he forced into prostitution until she she had blooding spilling out of her ears, according to the (Portland) Oregonian.
Clardy has been labeled as an “anti-social psychopath who was 100 percent likely to commit violent crimes again” by a psychiatrist who testified in the case. Clardy was so hostile and unstable during his sentencing hearing that the judge ordered him to be held in restraints with his lawyer a safe distance away.
Sirgiorgiro was originally arrested as part of a sex trafficking bust. He was arrested along with Princess Dawn Talley-Stevenson, who was suspected of prostitution.
Clardy’s complaint against against shoe behemoth Nike reads like this:
“Under product liability there is a certain standard of care that is required to be up-held by potentially dangerous product,” Clardy wrote in a three-page handwritten complaint. “Do (sic) to the fact that these defendants named in this Tort claim failed to warn of risk or to provide an adequate warning or instruction it has caused personal injury in the likes of mental suffering.”
Nike will be served with Clardy’s lawsuit and be given the opportunity to respond.
