Italian man jailed for infecting 30 women with HIV
- 7 years ago
An Italian accountant has been jailed for 24 years for intentionally infecting dozens of women with HIV.
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 HIV free, 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 HIV epidemic.
The court rejected this, convicting him instead of ‘greviouis and incurable bodily harm.”
Talluto, whose HIV-positive, drug addict 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.
