DUTCH GANG ARRESTED FOR SPREADING HIV

Good heavens! So for all you SA bashers out there - take note - not everything that is bad happens in South Africa!

This behaviour makes no sense at all. It's like doing things 'because you can'. How very irresponsible. I wonder how they would have felt if one of their victims has infected them with HIV! Now that would be poetic justice!

The Hague - Dutch police said on Wednesday they had arrested three men accused of drugging gay men at sex parties, raping them and injecting them with a cocktail of HIV infected blood. "Two of the suspects have admitted to having injected at least five victims with HIV infected blood," police spokesperson Sylvia Sanders told Dutch NOS public radio. According to the police the gang would contact other gay men on the Internet and invite them to weekly sex parties in the northern city of Groningen. They would then administer the so-called date-rape drug GHB to the men and then sexually abuse them. In several cases, they even injected them with a cocktail of HIV infected blood.

'Sex without a condom was the most pure'

The police said the suspects committed the crimes for a kick and because they felt "sex without a condom was the most pure". The two suspects who admitted to a part of the crimes named five victims who were injected with HIV-infected blood but only one of those named has filed a complaint with the police, Sanders said. The three HIV-positive suspects, aged in their thirties and forties, have been provisionally charged with causing grievous bodily harm, sexual abuse and drugs offences. A date for the trial has not been set yet.
