A former Bronx schoolteacher charged with sexually abusing six male students was HIV-positive at the time of the alleged attacks, authorities said yesterday. Milton McFarlane, 39, tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in 1995. At the time of his arrest last year, he told police he "may" have the AIDS virus.
A Bronx grand jury yesterday filed new charges against McFarlane in connection with the alleged sodomy and sexual abuse of six boys who were students at Public School 78 in the Bronx.
McFarlane was arraigned yesterday in Bronx Supreme Court on charges of reckless endangerment, possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child.
According to Bronx Assistant District Attorney Robert Holdman, McFarlane had unprotected sex with at least one student while suffering from the potentially fatal infectious disease.
According to court papers, McFarlane "under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life," recklessly engaged in "unprotected deviate sexual intercourse" while suffering from AIDS. The new offenses are in addition to charges filed by a grand jury on May 14, 2001, that include two counts of sodomy, 18 counts of first-degree sexual abuse, one count of second-degree sexual abuse, and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Outrage
Those charges were filed in connection with sexual assaults on the six boys on several occasions in 1998 and 2001.
McFarlane's defense lawyer, Curtis Farber, did not return calls.
United Parents Association president Ernest Clayton said McFarlane should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"Our children are our most precious resource and to take advantage of them is a sin," said Clayton. "To inflict a life-threatening disease on top of an assault is monstrous."
McFarlane, who was fired from his second-grade teaching job, had been disciplined after two boys at PS 78 accused him of sexual misconduct in 1998. But the office of then-Special Schools Investigator Ed Stancik and the local school superintendent allowed him to stay in the classroom.
Bronx Supreme Court Justice John Barone said McFarlane will return to court on Oct. 3. Meanwhile, he remains behind bars without bail, and, if convicted, could face at least 50 years in prison.

Like the bishops, they should be held accountable to the law.McFarlane, who was fired from his second-grade teaching job, had been disciplined after two boys at PS 78 accused him of sexual misconduct in 1998.

BULLSH*T!!!
Give me a 12 guage, one shell, and my husband's help digging a 6 foot hole & we'll show you how stupid that liberal argument is AND do the job on the cheap!!!
COPS: HIV-POSITIVE TEACHER RAPED BOY, 9
The homosexual molestation of children continues.
Slight revision here.
(a) A child under the age of 12 is kidnapped and raped (engaged in adult/child intercourse) regardless whether a murder took place. Under the age of 12, NOBODY has an excuse for sex with such a child, even if the child mistakenly consents! A death sentence for kidnap and rape of 12 to 17 year olds is in order if it was NOT statuatory (like with the two victims yesterday).
(b) Anyone who is knowingly carrying the aids virus and engages in unconsensual sex or sex where the partner is unaware of such hiv status REGARDLESS OF THE AGE of the victim.
Execute them and do it expeditiously.
I know some commie-lib is going to try to toss a monkey wrench into my argument dealing with "What if the perp says the 12 to 17 year old consented & they deny it?".
Sure, that might throw a monkey wrench in, but only where the perp is acquainted with the victim & the victim's family (ie: Adult boyfriend with minor girlfriend). This should automatically be treated as a statuatory rape case in the interest of fairness, much like a plaintiff being automatically registered as pleading "not guilty" when they refuse to make a plea either way.
In the case of Mr. Ratliff, if you have a sexual assault record and you kidnap and rape complete stranger 12 to 17 year olds, I guess it just sucks to be you.
The problem is homosexuality.
