Full article can be read via the link below but it's heartening to know that the justice system finally recognises that it's a crime to "knowingly exposing othersto the virus that causes AIDS by having unprotected sex with them and not revealing one's condition".

Ex-CFL player Trevis Smith gets 5½ years in jail for exposing 2 women to HIV


REGINA (CP) - An apology to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, his children, his wife and his many lovers wasn't enough to spare an HIV-positive former Canadian Football League linebacker a prison term for aggravated sexual assault.

Trevis Smith was sentenced Monday to 5½ years behind bars for knowingly exposing two women to the virus that causes AIDS by having unprotected sex with them and not revealing his condition.

Provincial court Judge Kenn Bellerose added another six months onto the sentence for two bail violations Smith pleaded guilty to earlier in the day, making the sentence an even six years. (Unquote)

That is a real good thing. But I have to have a BUT here. I hope that should anyone of these woman die from this that he goes to jail for manslaughter. It to me at least is the same as slowly poisoning someone over time and they die. Obviously not pre-meditated but it is still a murder. You know what you have is potentially lethal.
