A Texas man who had unprotected sex multiple times with a woman, despite knowing that he carried HIV, received a 15-year prison sentence for infecting her with the disease.
Jimmy Billingsley, 42, a former youth football coach learned in 2008 that he tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS. Yet he didn’t warn the woman who contracted HIV or any of his other sexual partners, according to his testimony, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
