-

A man who had unprotecte­d sex with men he met through social media has admitted he did not tell them he was HIV positive. Johnny Lachlin Benjamin Lumsden, 26, was charged with endangerin­g the health of three men by criminal nuisance and a representa­tive charge of supplying methamphet­amine. Lumsden knew of his diagnosis since 2016. When police obtained his phone they found messages showing between October and November he was dealing methamphet­amine. Judge Jane Farish refused Lumsden’s bail and remanded him in custody for sentencing on September 7.
