Sugar-mummy to be sued for infecting ‘Ben-10' with HIV

ONE of the parents in the case of two Victoria Falls teenagers who allegedly assaulted a 38-year-old man over his wife has threatened to file a charge against the woman accusing her of intentionally infecting his grandson with HIV.

Elliot Hoko (72) appeared as a guardian in the trial of Nelson Moyo (18) and a 17-year-old minor of Sizinda village where they pleaded guilty to assault when they appeared before Victoria Falls resident magistrate Sharon Rosemani.

Hoko told the magistrate that he was ready to pay all the medical bills and the phone they cracked, but vowed to file a new charge after his grandson tested HIV-positive.

"I will pay for all the costs, but this boy is now HIV-positive. We conducted some tests," he told the court.

"As soon as this trial ends, I want to sue the woman because she knew that she was taking ARVs and she intentionally infected this young boy. She says she is pregnant with his baby," the boy's granny was quoted as saying by Southern Eye.

The case was remanded to November 14 for sentencing.
