A Chattanooga man remains behind bars after he infected his wife with HIV, according to a Chattanooga Police Department report.
James Hutchins, 46, faces a charges of criminal exposure to HIV. He already has a prior conviction on the charge dating back to 1999 when he was given a six-month jail sentence and was placed on probation for five years, according to court records.
Hutchins’ wife of nearly five years had lab tests and came back HIV positive although she said she only slept with her husband, according to a police report. Some of her friends told her Hutchins was HIV positive, the report said.
The couple met online in 2005 and married about a year later. According to the report, Hutchins’ wife is pregnant.
If convicted, Hutchins could be incarcerated from three to six years depending on his prior criminal history.
He declined an interview request Thursday and remains in jail on a $10,000 bond. His next court date is set for Aug. 2 in General Sessions Court Judge David Bales’ courtroom.

That is one sick puppy. That is attempted murder and should be prosecuted as such.

What's redneck about Chattanooga?
This happens all the time in San Francisco. Seriously. All the time. Deliberately. Nothing is done to them but talk.
Maybe this guy should get a change of venue to SFO.
Guess Roadmaggot isn't from Chattanooga.
Scary stuff! I think 3-6 years is not enough. He choose to make her terminally ill so he took her life he should get no less than 25!
The DA and the judge who let the virus ridden pig out of jail helped in the attempted murder. I wonder how many others were infected between 1999 and 2005. rolando... still fixated with the San Francisco sexual lifestyle, I see.
The state needs to exterminate his junk.
what a sorry excuse for a human...not only ruin the life of his wife...but her children and unborn child....but by all means give him 6 months to think bout what he has done...good goosh..really????? KILL HIS A** NOW! save on medical expences,feeding him..and well maybe the life of another woman when the wonderful "justice" system sets him free... I SAY LET HER CHOOSE WHAT HE GETS!!!!........THOUGHTS BY THIS SODDY DAISY REDNECK!!!!!
thing is...i know this dude...he's on alot of phone chat lines & meets alot of women...he just had 1 stayin with him from dayton tn...
These men need to be crastrated before being released from prisons to stop the spread of HIV. I don't take away some of the blame from the woman, either! She should have taken him to the clinic before she opened her legs to his disease. Wake up women, before you destroy your children's lives!!
Look at this dudes face. What sane person would sleep with this dude?
"rolando... still fixated with the San Francisco sexual lifestyle, I see."
Yes, dude, I am. It is exactly the right example to show what happens when homosexuals get their way. Until that AC/DC SOB [like this killer] came along, we normals had a pretty good deal.
The homos were killing each other...slowly and rather painfully.
