E-mail evidence OKd in HIV suit
From the Associated Press
A judge ruled that a man accused of infecting his ex-wife with the AIDS virus will have to disclose his sexual orientation in an upcoming civil trial.
Superior Court Judge Rolf M. Treu ruled Thursday that attorneys representing the man’s ex-wife can use his e-mails as evidence of his “rampant, high-risk,” secret homosexual lifestyle. The former couple married in July 2000 and divorced in October 2003. Both were diagnosed with HIV in October 2000.
Both blame the other for their conditions.
