VICTORVILLE, Calif., Sept. 8 (UPI) -- A Southern California man pleaded guilty to a charge of knowingly exposing a woman to the HIV virus, but authorities say there may be more victims.
San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators say it is likely some of Dennis Rios' sexual partners over the past 10 years haven't come forward because they are either embarrassed or feel intimidated by his association with a gang.
The Victorville (Calif.) Daily Press said Wednesday that deputies are also concerned that Rios spread the virus by giving other people tattoos using needles he had also used on himself.
The 41-year-old Apple Valley resident is expected to get three years in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 22.
