A man has been jailed for seven years for infecting two other men with HIV.
Antonio Reyes-Minana, from Coppice Row in the Arnold area of Nottingham, was convicted of two counts of grievous bodily harm.
Image source, Nottinghamshire Police
During a trial at Nottingham Crown Court, the jury heard how the 25-year-old knew he was HIV positive when he engaged in unprotected sex with two other men in 2008 and 2012.
Test results showed that the same virus was present in both victims and the defendant.
Quote Message
It has taken a long time to bring the case to court and we are pleased with the result. The victims now have to live with a terminal illness. They gave evidence during the trial as Reyes-Minana had maintained his innocence but can at least find some comfort in knowing that their offender now has to take responsibility for what he's done."
