Loverboy

This guy doesn't strike me as someone women would be falling all over themselves over, but he must have something, since he's allegedly slept with hundreds of them, and apparently with evil intent:

Although diagnosed in 2004, investigators say Perkins broke the law by not informing the women he slept with that he was HIV-positive. The ex-girlfriend believes "hundreds" of women may be affected.

The woman, who wanted her identity protected, said she learned about Perkins' condition after a confrontation with Perkins. During that meeting, she said he admitted to intentionally withholding the information.

"A whore gave it to me, so whatever whore sleeps with me deserves to get it," the woman said.

Sounds like a pretty good case could be make for attempted murder, but that's not the current state of disclosure laws. "Failure to disclose" is at least a felony in Indiana, but some people even object to that because it puts the confidentialty of all HIV-positive people at stake.

This has "made-for-TV movie" written all over it, doesn't it?

Leo:
Dunno about a MOVIE, but it SURE would have made an interesting episode of Boston Legal, eh?

My sister kept telling me I should watch "Boston Legal," and now that they've stopped making new episodes, I've sort of gotten hooked on it.

It's already been done. It was the plot of a Law and Order: SVU episode. I believe the bad guy even said something along the lines of the "whore" remark.
