Rapist may have HIV from victim

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I can just guess the thoughts of WGW on this one:

Quote :

Richard Thomas was sentenced to five years and four months after admitting raping the woman at her home in Leigh, Greater Manchester.

He knew she was ill but did not know she had HIV and collapsed when police told him, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

Sympathy from his defence team:

Quote :

His barrister, Virginia Hayton, said: "It is his own fault, if he had not committed this offence he would not have placed himself in this position

And good enough for him.

Nice.

Aw, diddums...
When even his own barrister says it's his own fault, he's got to be feeling just a bit... guilty?

That poor woman.   

I'd be a hell of a lot more thrilled about this if it didn't mean that now his next victim is likely to catch it from him.

He's was sentenced to a nickle STREET MIKEY. This implies that the next rapist is likely to catch it from the victim, again.

We can also always hope for a shanking or something to solve this problem for the long term.

There is that.
