HIV POSITIVE STUDENT SECRETLY FILMED HIMSELF HAVING SEX WITH MORE THAN 30 PEOPLE

MICHAEL JOHNSON

HIV positive college student, Michael Johnson, 22, could have knowingly infected more than 30 people with the virus while secretly filming them on his laptop, police said.

Johnson was charged with exposing sexual partners to HIV back in October but prosecutors just announced Thursday that a police investigation uncovered the incriminating videos, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

"On that laptop were 32 videos that depicted different individuals engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson," St. Charles County prosecutor Tim Lohmar told local station KMOV.

Most of the 32 tapes were recorded in his dorm room at Lindenwood University.

"It's safe to say that a large number of those videos were taken inside his dorm room; we know that because we recognize the furniture," Lohmar said.

The videos allegedly show Johnson having unprotected sex with various people he met through social media.

The St. Charles Police Department believes that his sex partners did not know that he had the virus or that their actions were being films.

Lohmar wants anyone who may have been infected by Johnson to come forward.

"It's a matter not only of their individual safety but public safety as well," Lohmar said to KMOV.

The St. Charles Police Department built a case against Johnson over the course of a five-month investigation that started a month after a man told police he was diagnosed with HIV and gonorrhoea after having sex with Johnson in his dorm room, The Indianapolis Star reported.
