Kenneth, you did actually know because the moment he turned on you, you were bringing up that he was "a sociopath" and that he had claimed he gave an unknowing woman in his life a sexually transmitted disease. For months now you have been whining about how this goblin crossed poor little innocent you so my question is why did you give a sex offender moderatorship?
Knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) to an unsuspecting partner
can be a felony or misdemeanor depending on state laws, the specific disease (e.g., HIV), and intent. While it is generally not a crime to unknowingly pass an infection, intentionally or recklessly transmitting one without disclosure can lead to criminal charges, jail time, and civil lawsuits.
Key legal aspects include:
- Criminal Charges: Known transmission can be charged as assault, battery, or specific statutory crimes.
- State Variability: Laws differ significantly. For example, in California, it is a misdemeanor, while in other contexts, it can be a third-degree felony or higher, especially for HIV.
- Consent: Failing to disclose a known infection removes the ability for a partner to give informed consent, which is central to criminal liability.
- Civil Liability: Victims can sue for damages, including emotional distress and medical costs.
