Total probable time behind bars approximately 2.75 years. Hey he's only 34 so if he gets out at 37 he'll have time to work his 'educational etiquette' on other victims so IF these young boys luckily escape without contracting the HIV virus there are many others out there that he could 'prey' on and maybe eventually give it to them before he dies all thanks to this buffoon Magistrate Coffey.

The US Approach: HIV Exposure or Criminal Transmission Laws
23 US states have passed laws specifically criminalizing certain behaviour by people with HIV. Some states make it a crime not to disclose HIV-positive status before engaging in certain activities. In most of these states, taking precautions to prevent transmission (such as using a condom) does not protect against criminal liability. Other states criminalize certain legal acts (such as donating blood) if done by an HIV-positive person, or if done simply by someone belonging to a high risk group. Finally, some states have imposed harsher sentences for illegal acts (such as prostitution) if the offender is HIV-positive. Many states have adopted more than one of these approaches. In most cases, the prosecution only has to prove the prohibited behaviour took place, and need not prove HIV was actually transmitted or even that the accused knew the conduct could transmit the virus.
