A pastor in Atlanta will have to spend the next ten years of his life behind bars for spreading HIV to women. Pastor Craig Davis was sentenced on Feb. 21.
During his trial, Pastor Davis was accused by several different women of exposing them to HIV. Davis denied the allegations and claimed that his crack use was the reason why his HIV test returned with a positive result.
Davis was eventually convicted of having reckless unprotected sex without informing his partners of his status. Shortly before being sentenced, Davis finally admitted to having unprotected sex with the women and asked the court for mercy.
In addition to his ten year sentence, he will be on probation for an additional ten years. Before Davis was sentenced, one of his victims spoke out and said she will have to live with a life sentence of being HIV-positive.
