| HIV infected man who lied to sex partners sent to prison for 56 months
Posted: 6/24/2009 7:13:48 PM | btw, it was definitely not drugs that got him infected. i have never seen him abuse drugs. it's true that he was extremely over dependant when it came to women, though(yes, he slept with a lot of girls). that was his downfall i suppose. it's sad really, he was a great looking guy with tons of people who loved him, but had no self-esteem. its upsetting that i can only see this now when looking back on everything.
i'm not sure i understand your last question. please forgive me if i come off sounding harsh, i can see how it would read like that. it's just that, when i read stuff like this thread about someone i know really well, written by people who don't know him at all, i get really frustrated. as i stated above, he wasn't exactly struggling to get women, apparently he slept with the wrong one and became infected.
i know both the victims too, they are good people. really nice girls. personally, i think it was the crown that was responsible for most of the crap that came out in court, sometimes my emotions get misguided and away from me. i just wish everyone would have stuck to the facts and not have gotten so sidetracked. | |

yes, he lied, he lied for a long time and a girl got hurt, hurt for most likely the rest of her life. DUH ... the rest of her life ... ya think? Depending on how long that will be as she has now been given a life-threatening disease that will never go away.
HIV progresses to AIDS, which breaks down the immune system, making it more difficult to fight off more common viruses like the cold, pneumonia, etc. These then attack the system more viciously, sometimes resulting in death.
A man who goes around exposing others to HIV with no regard to others is NOT merely a "good person" who made a really stupid, terrible mistake. personally i think you've been spoon fed by the media for too long.
not everything is in black and white, Cotter. good people make mistakes... some are really terrible mistakes. Yes ... and this was one. I could eventually see the excuse of some little mistake from a genuinely good guy, but this man knew full well what was going on ... knew full well that he has a life-threatening highly contagious disease. That is not something anyone takes lightly.
... and some mistakes aren't as simple as forgetting to tell your gf you have a serious, possibly life-threatening illness. Listen ... he did not accidentally forget to tell his "sex partner" (I mean, really ... girl friend?) that he has a serious ... possibly life-threatening disease. He purposely omitted that so he could have unprotected sex with her.
How naïve does a person have to be to not realize that?
... obviously there was much more going on that we'll probably never understand... or perhaps most are just too lazy to bother. It has nothing to do with being too "lazy" to bother to understand.
I think it's pretty clear. He got sick of using condoms and wanted to go without. If he had told his sex partners that he was HIV positive ... they never would have let him get away without using a condom.
That's nothing but selfish and thoughtless behavior. He had nothing in mind but his sexual pleasure. He could have cared less about his partner's life!!!
BARF ...  | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 6:48:54 AM | First, this could not happen to me: I'm not apromiscuous person, that is I don't sleep with some one i'm not married to -- amazing how that works to keep one's self disease free. Two, I'm not a drug user, other than what the Doc prescribes and I would not sharre needles. Third, the only way this could happen to ME is by a will act from some SOB hell bent on infecting innocents.
This was not a MISTAKE: a mistake would be putting on two different socks, pulling a tenner from your wallet when you meant to pull twenty, ringing the wrong doorbell. This was a willfull act of battery, an intentional touching to cause harm. Was it his intent that his victim contract HIV? Probably not, but as an infected individual he knew, he had constructive knowledge, that his actions, SEX (not unprotected, not protected, but SEX period) could have the effect of infecting his victim.
Personally, I think the court was way too lenient. Apparently, this scumbag is out already, and on the streets. Having served one year for the immutable harm he caused. He gave a life sentence to his victim, and yet he served but one year? Where is the punishment.
So while his victim suffers physically, mentally, and emotionally, he gets to live the life of Riley. I say keep him locked up, as a menace to society, and take away his drugs. Let him rot to death, carry out the death sentence he so willingly handed out, in a place where he cannot do any more harm.

Posted: 10/20/2009 6:05:34 PM | this story was on 20/20 and ABC goodmorning america about a month ago. i missed the full story but saw bits of it. the guy looked strange from the beginning. people wake up, you need to take care of your health and not put your health/life in someone else's hand.
when i worked as a social worker a year ago, i had a woman who was a client tell me she was hiv, living with dude with her kids but couldn't tell him her story. the reason: he would leave her and she would not have anyone to pay her bills. this woman looked normal, was attractive, head full of hair, clear skin and healthy figure. | |
