CBSN
An Idaho man was sentenced last week to 30 years in prison for trying to spread HIV to dozens of victims.
Alexander Louie, 34, admitted to having sex with 30 to 50 different men and boys, including a 16-year-old, and didn't tell his partners he was HIV positive so he could infect them with the disease, the Ada County Prosecutor's office said in a news statement.
Detectives began investigating Louie in August 2023, when an undercover detective began speaking with him online. Louie thought he was communicating with a 15-year boy, the statement said. The two men spoke online and then agreed to meet in person in Boise, where Louie lived. He sent the "teen boy" naked photos through internet chats, and said he was going to videotape their encounter, said authorities in a news statement.
