HIV/ AIDS Cure & Treatment Update: HIV-Positive Student Knowingly Infects 32 Others in University; Sex Videos Found
University student Michael Johnson is HIV-positive, but his illness didn't stop him from sleeping and possibly infecting 32 other people, reports Yahoo!7 News. Police says they have recovered sex videos from Johnson's dorm room, which revealed him having sex with 32 men who appeared unaware that they were being filmed.
Johnson, who calls himself "Tiger Mandingo," in social media, had been charged in October for knowingly infecting partners with HIV in Missouri. Johnson went to Lindenwood University, and the 22-year-old brought partners to his dorm room and filmed their sexual encounters.
Prosecutor Tim Lohmar said, "On that laptop were 32 videos (of partners) engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson;it's safe to say that numerous of those videos were taken inside his dorm room; we know that because we recognise the furniture," reports Huff Post.
Johnson reportedly met his sexual partners via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Police were alerted about his apparent crime when one of Johnson's former lovers sought help from the St. Charles Police Department, saying he had contracted gonorrhea and had become infected with HIV after having sex with Johnson in his dorm room.
In November, four other ex-lovers surfaced with the same complaint, according to the Daily Mail. Five felony charges have been filed against Johnson as a result, and the police are urging other victims to come forward and file their complaints too.
A member of the wrestling team when he was attending university, Johnson has caused a stir at Lindenwood, with students in disbelief that such a crime could happen inside the confines of the university. University student Jenny Counts opined, "I think it's really scary, thinking someone like that is on campus, not thinking about others," reports Yahoo!7 News.
Police are still building the case against Johnson and are struggling to identify the sexual partners of the former Lindenwood University wrestler from the recovered videos. Authorities are also pleading to the public that anyone who has had a tryst with "Tiger Mandingo" must come forward in the interest of justice and public health safety. If convicted with the charges, Johnson could face life in prison.
