In their respective suits, all three women in their late 20s claim they are also HIV-positive after relationships with Carl Leone that began as long as 13 years ago, the Windsor Star reported Wednesday.
All three women are only identified by their initials in the lawsuits, the report said.
In addition to Leone, the most recent suit names the Windsor Police Services Board and the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit, alleging nothing was done to protect the public from Leone. All the suits also allege Leone either concealed his HIV status or lied about it directly, the newspaper said.
The most recent suit claims Leone's actions constitute assault and battery, court records show.
Leone is in prison after being arrested in June 2004 and pleading guilty in April 2005 to 15 counts of aggravated sexual assault for having unprotected sex without telling his partners of his HIV-status, the Star said.
