Probation officer under investigation for revealing HIV status in spitting case - The Colorado Independent
DENVER-- Colorado court authorities are presently investigating whether the HIV positive status of Denver resident William O'Kelly was improperly revealed. O'Kelly was charged with attempted second degree assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly spitting on Jason Arb in an argument. O'Kelly's probation officer reportedly told Arb after the fact that O'Kelly was HIV positive, a likely legal violation of privacy. The second degree assault with a deadly weapon charge was subsequently dropped but O'Kelly was held in jail on a $250,000 bond for roughly a week. He remains charged with harassment.
