How disgusting is this. A man has been found guilty for spreading HIV at gay parties. He was found bragging to someone about how he infected 75 known people. I am shocked!! I dunno what to say. This guy needs to be put away for a long long time for doing such a horrible thing.A 49-year-old Melbourne man was convicted Thursday of knowingly spreading HIV to other men
During the five week trial, the court was told that Michael John Neal bragged that he had made “75 people pos.”
Neal was originally charged in 2006 with 35 counts, but after the case was made public, dozens of other men went to police.
Prosecutor Mark Rochford told the court that Neal, who was diagnosed in 2000, infected two men with HIV and attempted to infect 14 others.
Rochford said that Neal met the victims in parks and other areas where gays cruise for sex and on the internet.
He allegedly tried to get one victim to help him spread the disease and drugged another man - who is now HIV-positive - because he refused unprotected sex.
Oh wait it doesn't end there. You should here is defense. ARGGG!
Neal had pleaded not guilty. His lawyer said that Neal believed he was not contagious because he immediately began retroviral treatment after being diagnosed. His viral load levels were “undetectable” nine months later. Viral load levels indicate how actively the virus is reproducing. [SOURCE]
Luckily the idiot was found guilty on 15 charges, including eight counts of attempting to infect another person with HIV and two counts of rape. Lets hope he has been put away for good.
