Chilling footage has emerged of Daryll Rowe lying to police about his HIV status after he deliberately tried to infect 10 men with HIV.
Rowe, 27, was found guilty of intentionally infecting four men with HIV and attempting to infect a further six, the first prosecution of its type in the country.
He met his victims using Grindr and insisted on unprotected sex with his partners, many of whom he met on Grindr, or sabotaged the condoms of men who refused.
Detective Inspector Andy Wolstenholme, of Sussex Police, labelled Rowe a “dangerous man”, adding: “This trial is the first time a person has been charged and convicted of deliberately infecting others with HIV in the country.
“The verdict will bring some closure to the victims who have been very strong through the investigation.”
Prosecutor Caroline Carberry QC described his crimes as “a cynical and deliberate campaign to infect other men with HIV”.
Sussex Police released footage of Rowe being questioned about the accusations under caution.
The CCTV footage reveals him lying to officers about his HIV status, after going on a deliberate campaign to target the men he met on Grindr.
He claims to not know he has HIV, but it later transpired he had told victims he was HIV-positive and that he had tried to infect them.
