Jail for exposing 6 women to HIV
Coach driver from south of France sentenced to 12 years in prison for knowingly exposing partners to virus
AN HIV-POSITIVE man has been sentenced for the second time for exposing sexual partners to the virus.
Yesterday, Christophe Morat was sentenced to 12 years in jail by a court in Bouches-du-Rhône for transmitting the virus to his partner and exposing five other women to the disease.
Over a four-year period the man from d'Istres, Bouches-du-Rhône had unprotected sex with six women. The only one of them who knew that he was HIV-positive was the same one who contracted the virus.
The 40-year-old coach-driver had met most of the women, aged between 21 and 47 years-old, through dating websites, said Le Monde. In court, one of them said she saw him as a ‘serial killer.’
This is the second time, he had been sentenced for this crime. In 2005 he was sentenced for six years for contaminating two women with HIV even though he knew he was carrying the virus.
