HIV Rapist Adam Hall Jailed

A judge at Newcastle Crown Court has handed a life sentence to Adam Hall, describing him as a 'monster' who set out to destroy the futures of his victims.

The 43-year-old intentionally passed the virus to at least seven men, including two teenagers aged 15 and 17, by failing to take his medication and lying about his status.

Victims described the 'shattering' moment they received their diagnoses, often while still in school.

Hall will serve a minimum of 23 years before being eligible for parole, as health officials urge anyone who met him to seek immediate testing.
