Is Charlie Sheen in Legal Jeopardy?
The Los Angeles Times examines the question of whether actor Charlie Sheen faces legal jeopardy if he did not disclose to sex partners that he was HIV-positive. He announced on Tuesday that he tested positive for HIV four years ago.
Los Angeles police told The Times that they have received no complaints against the actor.
“In California, it is against the law for a person to willfully expose others to the human immunodeficiency virus. The crime is punishable by up to eight years in prison,” the paper reports.
Few cases of this type go to trial, but it has happened, according to the report.
