New York State officials are trying keep a black man busted for deliberately spreading the HIV/AIDS virus locked up past his prison term

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office has filed paperwork in Buffalo Supreme Court to commit Nushawn Williams to a mental hospital after his prison term expires. Williams, also known as Shyteek Johnson, served 12 years after pleading guilty to reckless endangerment and two counts of rape. Despite knowing he was HIV positive, he had unprotected sex with 12 women in upstate Chautaqua county and a 15-year-old in the Bronx. Officials say he slept with dozens of other women. Williams, who is married with four kids, pegged the number as high as 300 in a past interview. Thirteen of Williams' victims were infected with HIV, with two later passing it on to their own children. Williams, 33, didn't change much behind bars, having thrown bodily fluids at other inmates and been sanctioned 21 times for violent conduct, threats, fighting, and possession of drugs and weapons. All told, he spent 943 days of his sentence in disciplinary housing, according to court documents. He did not complete any sex offender or drug treatment programs. Cuomo's team warns that because Williams served his full term - he had been denied parole three times - he would not be subjected to community supervision if released. State Office of Mental Health psychologist Jacob Hadden, who interviewed Williams, diagnosed him with a mental abnormality that would allow him to be civilly confined under the law. If a jury agrees, Williams can be locked up in a mental institution or released under strict and intensive parole supervision.
