Abstract: Arnold Dorsey, better known as pop singer Engelbert Humperdink, is suing the National Enquirer for $50 million becAUse the tabloid ran a story claiming he is HIV-positive. The Dec. 27 issue of the Enquirer says that Kathy Jetter, a 32-year-woman who won a paternity suit against the singer in 1980, filed an affadavit later in the case saying Humperdink has AIDS. Jetter reportedly claims that a private investigator discovered that Humperdink was treated for the disease at Sloan-Kettering Hospital in New York. The suit says the tabloid failed to report that the allegations were made in a "reply affadavit" that was not a "significant court document." The story also failed to note that the petition was "ultimately dismissed," the suit says.
