HIV-Positive Student Secretly Videotapes
Himself Having Unprotected Sex With 31 People In 4 Months. Via KMOV reports: Prosecutors tell News 4 they now know more than
30 people could have gotten HIV from a former student at Lindenwood University
who allegedly knew he had the deadly disease. He is accused of knowingly giving
it to others.
In October, Michael Johnson, 22, was charged
with exposing sexual partners to HIV. Police later discovered multiple videos of
Johnson having unprotected sex.
They believe those partners were unaware
Johnson was HIV positive and that they were being videotaped.
The startling details were revealed after
hidden camera sex tapes were uncovered, according to prosecutors.
“On that laptop were 32 videos engaged in
sexual acts with Mr. Johnson,” said Tim Lohmar, St. Charles County prosecutor.
Lohmar said Johnson can be seen with 31
unidentified people in videos taken over four months. Most of the videos were
shot on the campus of Lindenwood University in St. Charles. Johnson has already
been charged with five counts of knowingly transmitting the disease.
“It’s safe to safe that numerous of those
videos were taken inside his dorm room; we know that because we recognize the
furniture,”
Lohmar said most of victims not only likely had
no idea they were being videotaped; they were clueless that Johnson had HIV.
That’s why Lohmar wants any potential victims
to come forward immediately. It’s a matter not only of their individual safety
but public safety as well.
Lindenwood University school officials tell
News 4 they will assist law enforcement with identifying victims. They say they
had no idea the videos existed until just a few days ago.
“I think it’s really scary, thinking someone
like that is on campus, not thinking about others,” said Student Jenny Counts.
Students
are shaken up by this latest news, but glad that Johnson is still behind bars
for now.
If convicted of knowingly transmitting HIV, he
could get up to life in prison.
