An Idaho man has been sentenced to up to 30 years in prison after he attempted to purposely spread HIV through sexual contact.

The Ada County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release that prosecutors have sentenced 34-year-old Alexander Louie, who is HIV positive, for not taking medication and “purposely having sexual contact with both men and teenage boys in hopes of transferring HIV to them.”

“He lied to these victims about his HIV status. Through the defendant’s own admissions, he had sexual intercourse with 30–50 different men and boys, including a 16-year-old,” the prosecutor’s office said.

Officials began to investigate Louie in August 2023 after he began “an online sexual conversation” with someone he believed to be a 15-year-old boy but was actually an undercover detective.

Louie was then arrested after attempting to meet with the “teen” for sex.

The investigation led the 34-year-old to plead guilty to a felony charge of transferring bodily fluids containing the HIV virus. 

Court records also state that he was found guilty of felony sexual battery with a minor and child enticement. 

Louie was sentenced to 30 years in prison and has to serve a minimum of 16 years before being eligible for parole.
