DALLAS - A man on trial in Dallas is accused of having unprotected sex with a woman and not telling her he’s infected with AIDS.

Prosecutors said Zambia native Nathaniel Tumbwe is a man who represented himself to the victim as a minister and a prince. But he didn’t tell her about his disease.

They presented testimony from several witnesses who said he did not take his disease seriously. Experts said he frequently did not take medications and missed doctors’ appointments.

Prosecutors are trying to show that he allowed his AIDS to progress and then had sex with the victim, therefore using it as a deadly weapon.

The victim also testified Tumbwe sexually assaulted her.

Tumbwe’s lawyers contend the encounter was consensual.

If convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, Tumbwe could spend up to 20 years in prison.
