ITALIAN MAN WHO INFECTED 30 WOMEN WITH HIV JAILED

Accountant Valentino Talluto was sentenced to 24 years behind bars.

An Italian accountant has been jailed for 24 years for intentionally infecting dozens of women with HIV.

@TheGlobe reporters.

A court in Rome heard that Italian accountant Valentino Talluto, 33, went on social networks to find victims, after his own diagnosis in 2006.

Claiming he was allergic to condoms, or HIVfree, he infected some 30 women by having unprotected sex.

The male partners of three of them subsequently contracted the virus, as did the baby of a fourth woman.

Prosecutors had sought a life term for Talluto, saying he had provoked an HIVepidemic.

The court rejected this, convicting him instead of ‘grevious and incurable bodily harm.”

Talluto, whose HIV-positive, drug addicted mother died when he was four, expressed regret for what had happened but said he did not realise the consequences of his actions.

The HIV/AIDS pandemic has killed around 35 million people worldwide since it began in the 1980s.
