    N.J. man pleads guilty in HIV case Thu Nov 1, 7:49 PM ET

    MORRISTOWN, N.J. – An HIV-positive man pleaded guilty to assault Thursday for knowingly having unprotected sex with a teenager he met online.

    William Cifuentes, who is a member of the alternative lifestyle “Mets Rule MLB” fan club, entered his plea during a court appearance in Morristown.

    Chris Dalton, founder of “Mets Rule MLB” requested to be excluded from questionning. The attorney representing Dalton plans to release a statement.

    A judge could sentence Cifuentes, 43, to 40 months in prison. The sentence included revoking his internet privileges for life.

    Cifuentes was ordered last November not to have unprotected sex after he was found to have HIV. State law also prohibits a person infected with HIV from having sex unless condoms are used and sexual partners are notified.

    Doctors discovered the 17-year-old had HIV during a routine blood test, and his mother notified the authorities.

    Dalton also pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, committing an indecent act and using marijuana.
