GREENWOOD, Ind. -- A man was arrested Friday night after he knowingly and intentionally tried to spread AIDS to more than 100 women in central Indiana over a period of more than five years, police said.

A SWAT unit was called in to arrest Tony Perkins, 47, who authorities said had been using the dating Web site plentyoffish.com to find many of his victims, 6News' Tanya Spencer reported.

Police expect numerous women to come forward in the wake of the release of information about Perkins.

Investigators said a very brave ex-girlfriend brought the case to light, even though she received death threats from Perkins.

The woman, who didn't want her identity revealed, said Perkins' daughter warned her that he had AIDS and had been trying to spread it since being diagnosed in 2004.

"One of his daughters Myspaced me and … said that she had watched her father infect countless women," the woman said. "Some have died, and she could no longer stand by."

The woman told 6News' Tanya Spencer that she loved Perkins, who she had dated for nearly two years, and thought he loved her, too. It wasn't until well into their relationship that she found out he had AIDS.

"It's my personal mission to help save lives. God spared me. I've tested negative for a year. My last AIDS test was in February," she said. "Maybe I was the angel to stop the anti-Christ. His quotes were, 'A whore gave it to me, so if a whore wants to sleep with me on the first night, she deserves what she gets.'"

Perkins was charged with failure of carriers of dangerous communicable diseases to warn persons at risk and intimidation.

Police think Perkins had unprotected sex with 100 or more women. They have confirmed the identities of more than 10 of them already.

"We will go through his cell phone records and try to find some other numbers and see if we can locate as many as we can and delicately notify them of what's going on," said Greenwood Police Chief Joe Pitcher.

Perkins was held Saturday at the Johnson County Jail on a $9,000 bond. He declined 6News' request for an interview.
The woman told 6News that she's outraged at the bond amount and that she's convinced that if Perkins gets out of jail, he will kill her.

sad world

That is just plain f%$#*d up! That dude has a date with prison and hopefully he will suffer a less than desirable fate.

That is horrible!

*note to self: Keep avoiding Craigs list, add avoiding plenty of fish. /end memo

This kind of awful sick crap also gives people on dating / social sites a bad rep.
Alot of people hear stories like this and the first thing they say is "oh well that's what happens when you meet someone on the internet"

Jill, I agree. This can happen without the online world as well. People just need to be more aware and protect themselves, on or off line.

exactly.

They need to disembowel him painfully and prolongingly.

I'm impressed that his daughter spoke up

But only after how many women got infected??




" Some " have died. How many had to die, and how many were given a death sentence before she felt it was enough?

No kidding!

But it doesn't say how young the daughter was. So who knows why she didn't come forward before. She could have been scared or something

Here's more about that sick, perverted man :

This link has the article and the video for the source you were posting about

infecting 100 women over 5 years, means those 100 women infected X amount over those 5 years which is freakin nuts!~


WTH!?!

hang him.

they had the same thing happen in TX. few years ago.

my friend's ex she hadn't seen in years tried talking to her one night when he saw her. He was flirting with her... trying to get her to let him come over, really trying hard to get a "hook up" that kind of non sense.
She told him no, he had did he wrong in the past and she wanted no part of him.
Turns out... he is HIV positive. I can't know for sure, but from how things went down, had she let him come over, I don't think he had any intentions on telling her.
Ironically she found out he has HIV because way back when they were dating, he had cheated on her with her roommate. Her roommate continued to see him long after my friend broke up with the LOSER. Now her old room mate is HIV positive as well. She also have 2 kids by him too who THANKFULLY are HIV free.
But now you have these 2 little kids with both parents having HIV.
It's a very sad story.
I'm so thankful my friend had enough sense in heard head not to talk to that man or let him come over.
After finding out they both have HIV, my friend did go get tested. She came up negative. Thank goodness.
I talked her into turning him into the health dept for trying to hook up with women and never metioning he has HIV. I don't know if anything ever happened with it but I sure hope so.

Thanks, Rose. They were different links though. I posted mine and now it's gone. I just re-posted it though.
