QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — An HIV-positive Navy chaplain has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to forcible sodomy and other charges.
Lieutenant Commander John Lee admitted having sex with an Air Force officer without disclosing that he had HIV. He also admitted to forcing himself on a midshipman in the U.S. Naval Academy.
Lee was sentenced after entering a plea agreement at his court-martial in Quantico, Virginia.
A Marine spokesman says nobody is known to have contracted HIV from Lee.
Lee, a Catholic priest, had been assigned as a chaplain at the Naval Academy from 2003 to 2006, and later as chaplain at the Marine Corps base in Quantico. He was relieved of his duties and had his ability to function as a priest revoked in June.
