HIV-positive Michigan man pleads no contest

Associated Press - December 5, 2008


STANTON, Mich. - A man accused of molesting two underaged girls and having unprotected sex with two women who did not know he carries the AIDS virus has pleaded no contest to four felony sex charges.

Thirty-two-year-old Gerald Campbell Jr. of Crystal entered the pleas Thursday in a Stanton courtroom. Crystal is about 45 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.

A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is treated by the court as such at sentencing.

Campbell pleaded no contest to two counts of AIDS sexual penetration with an uninformed partner and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

He faces up to life in prison when sentenced.

Defense lawyer Dennis Moore declined to comment when contacted at his Edmore office.
