A landscaper from California who claimed to be related to a civil rights leader has been accused of intentionally infecting at least two dozen men with HIV.
Spokesman Michael Giorgino said San Diego’s attorney's office presented the court a complaint Thursday alleging Thomas Miguel Guerra, 29, intentionally infected a man with the virus that can cause AIDS.
According to prosecutors, Guerra was on a mission to spread the potentially deadly virus to as many people as possible.
Guerra, who also goes by the name Ashton Chavez on the gay dating site Grindr, has pleaded not guilty to a previous count of violating the city's Health and Safety code.
Attorney James M. V. Fitzpatrick said his client maintains his innocence and will enter a not guilty plea again when he is arraigned September 2 for the amended complaint that specifies HIV.
Fitzpatrick said the allegations were made by a jilted boyfriend after a bad break-up and are baseless.
The misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail, but Guerra could face additional counts as the investigation continues.
Some of his alleged victims suggested that Guerra might have infected hundreds of men over the years.
