DALLAS - An HIV-positive man who prosecutors say secretly videotaped sexual encounters with 131 young men was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to entice a 15-year-old boy to engage in sex acts.

During his trial, prosecutors alleged Willie Atkins knew of his condition yet endangered dozens of partners by rarely using condoms, and that there was no evidence that he warned anyone that he was HIV-positive.

Atkins was sentenced Friday for attempting to entice a minor for sex, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Because Atkins had two previous felony convictions, for aggravated robbery and firearms possession, he was eligible for the life sentence.

According to authorities, Atkins lured young men to his apartment by offering them jobs to work for his landscaping company, but authorities have had difficulty identifying the men. Jurors at his trial saw clips from 90 hours of sexually explicit videotape.

His defense attorney, Richard Franklin, said Atkins was being unfairly targeted.

"They want to say Willie Atkins gave all these people AIDS, spread HIV all over the place," Franklin said. "They can't be living in some parallel universe where they've never heard of AIDS. It can't be his fault alone, if he has any fault at all."

The "dangerous activity" each side engaged in "cancels each other out," he said.

What a jerk! Can you imagine, Logan, what we'd do to the guy if we got our hands on him? You take him from the right and I'll take em' higher up, from the left.

Kinda reminds me of that weird foot-fetishist serial rapist, Jerry Brudos . . .

http://crime.about.com/od/serial/a/jerry_brudos.htm


The Lust Killer, Shoe Fetish Slayer
Jerry Brudos was a shoe fetishist, serial killer, rapist, torturer and necrophiliac who stalked women around Portland, Oregon in 1968 and 1969.
The Early Years
Jerry Brudos' love for shoes began at the age of five, after he rescued a pair of high-heel shoes from the garbage. As he grew older, his unusual interest in shoes developed into a fetish which he satisfied by breaking into homes to steal shoes and women's underwear. When he was in his teens he added violence to his repertoire and began knocking down girls, choking them until they were unconscious, then stealing their shoes.
At age 17 he was sent to the Oregon State Hospital psychiatric ward after he confessed to holding a girl at knife-point in a hole he dug in the side of a hill for the purpose of keeping sex slaves. There he forced her to pose nude while he took pictures.

Brudos was released from the hospital after nine months, even though it was clear he had developed a need to act out his violent fantasies towards women. According to his hospital records, his violence toward women developed from a deep hatred he felt for his mother.

Married With Children
Once out of the hospital he finished high school and became an electronics technician. Whether he refrained from acting out on his obsessions over the next few years or he just didn't get caught is unknown. What is known is that he married, moved to Portland, Oregon and he and his wife had two children. His mother later joined the family in their small suburban home.
Brudos' relationship with his wife began to falter after he approached her dressed in women's underwear. Up to that point she had gone along with his strange bedroom habits, including his request that she walk around the house nude. Rejected by her lack of understanding of his need to wear women's underwear, he retreated to his workshop which was off-limits to the family. No longer intimate, the two remained married despite his wife discovering pictures of nude women and an odd molded breast among her husband's possessions.


Brudos' Known Victims
Between 1968 and 1969 women in and around the Portland area began to disappear. In January 1968, Linda Slawson, 19, working as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesperson, happened to knock on Brudos' door. He later confessed to killing her, then cutting off her left foot to use as a model for his collection of stolen shoes.
His next victim was Jan Whitney, 23, whose car broke down while driving home from college in November 1968. Brudos later admitted to strangling Whitney in her car, then having sex with her body and bringing her corpse back to his workshop where he continued to violate the body for several days while it hung from a hook on his ceiling. Before disposing of her body he cut off her right breast in order to make a mold from it in the hopes of making paperweights.

On March 27, 1969, Karen Sprinker, 19, vanished from the parking garage of a ***artment store where she was to meet her mother for lunch. Brudos later confessed to forcing her into his car at gun point, then bringing her to his workshop where he raped her and forced her to put on various women's underwear and pose for pictures. He then killed her by hanging her from the hook in his ceiling. As with his other victims, he violated her corpse, then removed both breasts and disposed of her body.

Linda Salee, 22, became Brudos' next and last known victim. In April, 1969 he kidnapped her from a shopping mall, brought her to his home and raped and then strangled her to death. Like all of his victims, he disposed of her body in a near by lake.


The End of the Killing Spree
During the two-year killing spree, Brudos attacked several other women who managed to escape. The clues they were able to provide police eventually led them to Brudos' door. While in custody at police headquarters, Brudos gave a detailed confession of the four murders.
A search of his home gave police the additional evidence they needed to convict Brudos of three of the four murders. Included in the evidence were various photographs he took of his victims posed in his collection of women's underwear, parts of the corpses which had been found in a lake, along with some of his victim's body parts stored in his home. He was convicted and given the death penalty and a life sentence.

On March 28, 2006, Brudos, 67, was found dead in his cell at Oregon State Penitentiary. It was determined that he died of natural causes.

Some real sick people out there!

actually, their is no proof that HIV exists. I am pretty sure this can be stated as fact. Fact is, the dude, who discovered HIV, also discovered a virus a couple years earlier which actually attacked T cells also, just like HIV. The method used for this discovery was/is completely off the charts bogus. It wuold turn out shortly after its discovery, this virus was debunked big time and proven not to exist at all, this was really embarrasing for the guy. Turns out, the same exact method used to for that virus is the exact same one used for HIV. In fact, the strength of evidence at the time was even stronger for the debunked virus than for HIV.


I have been wanting to make a thread about this for a long time. NOt sure if i should post it here or the lounge.....its somthing alot of people should really know about....imo, looking at the given information, their is more info that supports HIV does not exist than info that HIV does exist.

If it doesnt exsist then what exactly is causing a posative result when people who are in the risk-group get tested?

You've come up with some great arguments in other threads, IronReload04, but you lost me on this one. This is the first conspiracy theory about HIV. Although I did hear that Magic Johnson has been cured but they won't release the cure to ordinary people because the money is in the treatment and not the cure. All sounds like bullshit to me!!!

I'm a true beleiver in that the drug companies have more than they are selling us, just like the Chris rock standup show he said the money is in the treatment not in the cure! Lets assume there is a cure and they are holding it back for money and also for moral/ethical reasons they want to keep people afraid from having random unprotected sex (like thats working!).
Then shouldnt that mindset have changed after HIV became a tragedy in Africa? I mean it got out of hand in some areas there if the cure is there then they need to release that stuff and help people! They already managed to bargain with the drig companies to drop the coctail price from like 10k a year to 300 bucks a year! So why not get the cure out?

They could always come up with a new scary disease to keep peopel scared from screwing around too much! A disease where your genitlas make screeching noises while u walk warning all surrounding people that u have it!! That would definetly make people rethink unsafe and random sex!
