A similar thing happened to me not long before my wife and I got married. My wife and I went to the same high school and knew a lot of the same people, but for whatever reason didn't meet until after we'd gotten out of school. She liked to have fun and dated quite a bit, but when the guys she dated found out she wouldn't "put out" they'd dump her and move on the the next potential conquest. Of course, their male egos wouldn't allow them to admit to their friends that they hadn't "scored", so she gained quite the reputation in high school, which led to more dates, which led to more disappointed guys....At this point, a friend of the future husband came to the husband to be with a grave face and in a serious tone told him how he had just learned some disturbing news about his future wife. With great feigned distress, this friend told the future husband that he had learned that his future wife had been married already. The husband to be said, "oh, yea, I know that, she told me all about early on." Apparently, this friend could horridly contain his disappointment...
Fast forward a couple of years, and she and I are engaged. A good friend of mine tells me that he needs to talk to me, and he tells me of the reputation my wife had in high school which he learned of from his cousin, who was one of those disappointed guys my wife had dated briefly. I explained what my wife had told me and he accepted it, explaining that he was only "looking out for my best interests" and never intended to cause trouble between she and I. He later told me that he'd asked his cousin about it, and that his cousin admitted to lying about having sex with her in high school in order to preserve his reputation. lol
