Police think there may be hundreds more victims of rapist who transmitted STIs
An objection was initiated for the victim of a rapist who could have transferred a sexual disease to hundreds of men.
Jonathan Carl was imprisoned for 17 years after he was found guilty of a rape and reckless infection of a CYBE.
In January 2024, an investigation was launched in January 2024 by two men of the metropolitan police in August 2023 and October 2022.
He was arrested after being identified with digital download exams and location data and was accused of rape and great physical damages in February 2024.
Howber, a deep digital analysis of mobile phone and social media messages, revealed that Carl uses multiple dating applications such as Grindr and Scruff to meet men.
Detectives believe that he had sexual contact with men for up to 400 for four years, 82 of them have already described and recommended Carl’s sexual health status.
One sacrifice said: “It has damaged me to have any romantic relationships in the future because of the general thoughts of people about HIV. It makes my brain angry because I think I can do it differently. I am still struggling with this guilty feeling.”
A deliberate or reckless sexually transmitted infection is a crime that means great physical damage.
Another of Carl’s victims said: “[I felt] I felt weak, I felt like there was nothing I could do. It made me feel that I wasn’t important, making me feel less than man.
“The main reason I came to the police, I wanted to prevent it from being someone else.”
The detective chief inspector Sarah Bishop, who pioneered the investigation, said: ız Our investigation revealed the scale of Carl’s crime and enabled it to be delivered to justice. But we are extremely worried about the welfare of those who have not yet been identified. We believe that 318 male victims may be victims and that they may have to come to the fore for test and support.
“You may have met Carl through an online flirting platform, or you may have visited the home address in Hornchhurch, which is significantly on a fish and chip shop.
