Two ladies have been infected by an ex-boyfriend who reportedly infected them with HIV despite knowing that he has the disease.
A man, Japhet Osei, who was diagnosed with HIV when he was 19 years old has been made to see a judge for deliberately infecting two girlfriends with the disease.
The accused who appeared before the Reading Crown Court on Friday, September 21, 2018, has been sentenced to jail for a period of five years after he was found guilty.
According to Metro News UK, the victims identified as Miss A and Miss B, were reportedly lied to by Osei who learned about his HIV-positive status in February 2014.
He reportedly turned down a doctor's advice asking him to commence anti-viral medication. A factor that allowed a court to agree that he deliberately infected the victims.
"She felt uncomfortable but Osei reassured her by telling her he had been treated recently and showed her a text message purporting to show he had had the all clear," says a prosecutor Alan Blake while telling the court about the experiences of Miss B.
