N.C. soldier pleads guilty in HIV case
Yahoo News - Nov 1, 2007
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - An HIV-positive paratrooper pleaded guilty to assault Thursday for knowingly having unprotected sex with a teenager he met online.
Pfc. Johnny Lamar Dalton, who is a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, entered his plea during a court-martial at Fort Bragg.
A military judge sentenced Dalton to 40 months in prison. The sentence included a reduction in rank and a dishonorable discharge.
Dalton was ordered last November not to have unprotected sex after he was found to have HIV. State law also prohibits a person infected with HIV from having sex unless condoms are used and sexual partners are notified.
Doctors discovered the 17-year-old had HIV during a routine blood test, and his mother notified the military.
Dalton also pleaded guilty to violating a direct order, aggravated assault, committing an indecent act and using marijuana.
