A Fort Bragg soldier is charged with knowingly infecting a teenage boy with human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.
Officers arrested Pfc. Johnny Lamar Dalton, 25, after a five-month-long investigation by Fort Bragg military police and the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. Dalton is attached to the 82nd Airborne.
Dalton first met the unidentified boy, 17, in a gay online chatroom and then in person, said the boy's mother.
In November, Dalton's commander ordered him not to have sex without first telling partners of his illness, said a spokesperson for the 82nd Airborne. Dalton also signed a written order to that effect.
However, Dalton's encounters with the boy, who was in high school, continued, said a military spokesperson.
In February, doctors conducting routine blood tests found that the teen was HIV positive.
"To him, it was like a death sentence," said the boy's mother, who said she was with her son when the doctors told them the results.
