CINCINNATI (AP) — A former professional wrestler in Ohio has been sentenced to 32 years in prison for having sex with women without telling them he tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.

A judge in Cincinnati sentenced Andre Davis today on 14 felonious assault counts. Davis could have received more than 100 years.

Prosecutors argued that the 29-year-old Cincinnati man violated state law by not telling a dozen sex partners about his HIV status or lying to them.

Davis’ attorney argued the state law regarding HIV and felonious assault is poorly written because it doesn’t require proof that there has been harm or an attempt to commit harm.

Attorneys in the case did not immediately return calls today.

Davis wrestled using stage names including Gangsta of Love and Sweet Sexy Sensation.
