The man accused of infecting more than a dozen women in the late 1990s in the Jamestown, N.Y., area with the deadly virus that causes AIDS will spend another year in prison.
A New York state parole board on Monday changed Nushawn Williams' earliest release date from April of this year to April 2010.
The parole board's decision read: "Your barbaric and perverse actions committed upon your unsuspecting and defenseless victims clearly demonstrates the extremely grave danger you pose to society."
The 32-year-old Williams, who now goes by the name Shyteek Johnson, claimed he slept with more than three dozen women in the Jamestown area. He also had sexual relations with 13- and 15-year-old girls.
As least 16 of his victims were confirmed as HIV positive.
Williams was advised of his HIV-positive diagnosis in September 1996 by the New York State Department of Health. Williams claimed he didn't remember being told.
As the HIV cases in Jamestown continued to mount and law enforcement's search focused solely on Williams, he was in Rikers Island jail awaiting sentencing for trying to sell $20 worth of crack cocaine to an undercover police officer in the Bronx.
In April 1999, Williams agreed to a plea bargain of four to 12 years for statutory rape and two counts of reckless endangerment.
