Valentino Talluto, a 33-year-old accountant, seduced dozens of women via social networks for a decade before his arrest in November 2015. Police believe he had sex with at least 53 women during that time, passing on the virus to 32 of them. The male partners of three of the women subsequently contracted the potentially fatal illness, as did an eight-month-old infant of a fourth woman. Prosecutors had urged the court to give him life in jail, saying he had provoked an HIV epidemic. Many of the women only discovered they had HIV after they heard of Talluto's arrest and had a test.
