KENT COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Health officials in Kent County are still trying to track down any possible victims of a man who was trying to spread HIV.
David Smith told detectives he had sex with « thousands » of people without telling them he had the virus.
While investigators doubt that number is accurate, a new alleged victim did come forward yesterday.
The second victim in this case is identified only as Jane Doe. She will remain anonymous, as will any other victims who come forward.
Yesterday Smith was arraigned on a second charge of trying to spread AIDS to an uninformed partner.
Investigators believe Smith has some mental health issues, but they also say he knew exactly what he was doing by seeking multiple sex partners for the purpose of spreading the virus.
Smith’s bond has been raised to $100,000, meaning he’ll likely remain behind bars.
Police say anyone who had contact with Smith should call them immediately, then head to the health department for testing.
