Michael L Johnson, a past wrestling champ from Warren Central High, Indianapolis has found himself in big trouble at Lindenwood University (St. Charles, MO). He was arrested on October 10, 2013 after being accused of exposing five or more sexual partners to HIV without informing them of risk.
On Johnson’s computer, 32 videos were found of him having sex with various partners. A man reported to authorities that he was found to have HIV and gonorrhea within a month of having unprotected sex with Johnson. In the ensuing weeks, 4 more men came forward with similar claims. All of the sexual contacts are Lindenwood University students.
Michael Johnson is now in jail, with bond set at $100,000, facing felony charges of recklessly infecting a person with HIV and recklessly exposing people to HIV infection. In Missouri, the first count brings 10 to life in prison, and the second charges bring 5 to 15 years penalty.
It appears, for Johnson and at least one of his victims, that defeat has been snatched from the jaws of victory.
