Adam Hall’s victim speaks out as rapist jailed for deliberate HIV infections

A victim of Adam Hall has spoken out after the 43-year-old was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court for life with a minimum term of 23 years for deliberately infecting sexual partners with HIV and raping some of his victims. The victim in this clip, whose voice has been replaced by an actor's, was just 15 when he was infected with HIV. He found out he had contracted HIV in a phone call from health professionals moments after he stepped off a school bus. Hall, of Washington, Tyne and Wear, hid his HIV status from partners, failed to take medication to keep his viral load low, then had unprotected sex with men, sometimes raping them. He was convicted of five counts of rape and seven counts of causing grievous bodily harm – by deliberately infecting younger partners with HIV after meeting them in bars in the Newcastle area or on the dating app Grindr.
