SCUMBAG OF THE WEEK: WRESTLER WITH HIV GETS 32 YEARS!

I used to be a huge wrestling fan and still watch from time to time, but I've never heard of this scumbag. Anyway, here's the story, and you decide if he should be awarded scumbag of the week. A former professional wrestler was recently sentenced to 32 years in prison for having sex with women without telling them that he had tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS. Andre Davis (pictured left) was sentenced on 14 counts of felonious assault. Davis, who used to wrestle under the stage names Gangsta of Love and Sweet Sexy Sensation, was convicted back in November 2011. Prosecutors say that Davis violated state law when he neglected to tell a dozen sex partners about his HIV status. That's a pretty dick move, don't you think?

Davis told the judge that he was a "sex addict" and that his addiction grew worse when he lost his dream of becoming a professional wrestler after getting the HIV test results. He also stated that sex addiction is probably the worst addiction anyone could have. Davis, who went on to say that he didn't disclose his HIV results because he didn't want his family to know, said that he wasn't a monster and never meant to hurt anyone.

One prosecutor argued that Davis should go to prison for a long time stating that the case was about his responsibility to tell the women about his test results. Davis's attorney retorted with the fact that his client was sorry for what he'd done and that the women involved also had some sort of responsibility for choosing to have unprotected sex.

The judge, who cited medical privacy laws, prohibited the attorneys from bringing up whether any of the women was infected with the virus, which can be transmitted through unprotected sex. Back in 2009, the WWE told Davis that they wouldn't hire him because he failed his physical and tested positive for HIV. During the trial, Davis's attorney, noted that a company, not a doctor, notified Davis that he was HIV-positive and that he didn't think that the prosecutors could prove that Davis even has HIV. According to the prosecutor, state law does, however, require those who test positive for HIV to inform their sex partners of that status, and it wasn't necessary to prove that Davis is HIV positive.

Davis could receive up to 100 years in prison. Is that enough for possibly infecting over a dozen women? What kind of scumbag has unprotected sex with someone and doesn't tell them that they have HIV. If he indeed does have the disease, doesn't that mean he technically killed a dozen people too? The only thing that I do agree with is that that his partners did have a responsibility to having protected sex. Other than that, this guy was a monster!
