HIV-positive Sudanese refugee convicted in Canada

A Sudanese refugee with HIV/AIDS has been convicted in Winnipeg, Canada of having unprotected sex with underage girls.  He was found guilty in six cases of aggravated sexual assault.  Hat tip: Josh.

A Winnipeg man who hid the fact he was HIV-positive from his young sex partners has been convicted of six counts of aggravated sexual assault.

Justice Joan McKelvey convicted Clato Mabior, 31, yesterday of two additional counts of sexual touching and sexual interference. McKelvey acquitted Mabior of three additional counts of aggravated sexual assault involving three different victims.

At trial, the victims — one as young as 12 years of age — testified Mabior plied them with booze and drugs and engaged in repeated acts of unprotected sex without ever disclosing he was HIV-positive.

“He knowingly withheld that information from his sexual partners on the basis that in all likelihood they would not have engaged in sexual contact with him,” said McKelvey in a written decision released yesterday.

McKelvey called Mabior a sexual predator who preyed upon young, vulnerable victims.

Meanwhile, I have just returned to news that the US Senate has opened the doors (closed since the late 1980’s) to HIV-positive immigrants.  As soon as I get the full story, I will report it.

Update July 18th:  Full story on the Senate vote here at Blue Ridge Forum.
