HIV playboy targets teens
October 19, 2004
A one-legged German who is at the centre of a mass HIV scare involving hundreds of Thai women and girls faces deportation from the country.
Hans-Otto Schiemann, 54, was confirmed with the HIV virus three years ago, and health officials said he could have had unprotected sex with up to 400 people. Schiemann, who boasted of being like "heroin to girls," posed such a health threat that authorities printed banners and thousands of flyers warning students away from him.
Schiemann - married to a Thai woman for five years who is now ravaged with AIDS - complained of being persecuted. "They persecute playboys here like Hitler persecuted the Jews."
Residents say Schiemann, who has been in Thailand for much of the last decade, offered students aged from 15 to 17 around 4 000 baht (R600) for sex as part of a campaign of vengeance against Thai women, whom he blames for his own HIV infection.

chauvinistic asshole, typical of an immature person to blame the women who are forced into sexist roles by people like him. He and his kind have brought the consequences of their actions upon themselves.
That is frightening...
did read about this one...curious it has not been legislated here...
Can't they get him for depraved indifference or manslaughter or assault with a deadly weapon or something??? Lock him up and let the prison population take care of the asshole.
