   Richard Morris sentencing, Cuyahoga County court, FOX 8 Photo   
      
   CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) – A man accused of knowingly exposing both teens and   
   adults to HIV was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to multiple counts   
   of sexual battery and felonious assault.   
      
   Prosecutors say Richard Morris, 38, had sex with men and women — both teens   
   and adults — while he knowingly carried the virus that causes AIDS,   
   according to Cuyahoga County prosecutors. The prosecutor’s office said   
   Morris did not tell the victims    
   he was HIV positive.   
      
   He was charged with eight counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery, six   
   counts of felonious assault and one count of possessing criminal tools.   
      
   However, as part of a plea deal, Morris pleaded to four felonious assault   
   charges and three sexual battery charges.   
      
   Morris was previously arrested in 2018, when there were believed to be six   
   victims.   
      
   “Part of taking advantage of them is not disclosing his status,” said the   
   prosecution during the sentencing. “He still chose to get into the   
   relationship and expose children to this disease that he suffers from.”   
      
   Two of the victims were relatives, according to prosecutors.   
      
   “These were consensual relationships,” argued his defense attorney.   
      
   Judge Nancy Fuerst, who presided over the sentencing, said Morris appeared to   
   prey on people who were “down and out” or had limited mental capacity and   
   who have suffered long-term psychological damage.   
      
   “The court finds that recidivism is more likely,” said Fuerst.   
      
   Morris, who apologized to his children and the victims, was sentenced to a   
   total of 23 years.   
      
   He will be designated as a Tier 3 sex offender and will be under post-release   
   supervision for eight years.
