Positive Man Gets 5 Years in Prison for Unprotected Sex

Sept 10, 2008
An HIV-positive man in London, Ontario, in Canada has been sentenced to five years in prison for having unprotected sex with a female partner without disclosing his HIV status, The London Free Press reports. The woman remains HIV negative.

The man, Edward Kelly, had already served a three-year prison term for not disclosing his HIV status to four women with whom he had sex. None of those women tested positive.

“I realize the severity of the crime I have done, and I realize what I did was wrong,” Kelly told Justice Johanne Morissette. “Hopefully, it will never happen again,” he said before correcting himself. “No, it will never happen again.”
