A former Aiken County art teacher has been sentenced for knowingly
exposing his wife to HIV.
An Aiken County jury Wednesday found Joel Lynn Bedenbaugh, 47, of
Camden, S.C., guilty of exposing others to HIV, said Assistant Aiken
County Solicitor Brenda Brisbin. He was sentenced to six years in
prison and four years of probation after a two-day trial.
Mr. Bedenbaugh knowingly exposed his now ex-wife to the sexually
transmitted disease during their marriage between 2002 and 2006, Ms.
Brisbin said.
Prosecutors discovered his diagnosis while investigating allegations
of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in 2008. Mr. Bedenbaugh had
been accused of having sexual contact with a girl between 2003 and
2005, starting when the child was six-years-old, Ms. Brisbin said. The
charges were dropped since he is serving time for the current offense,
and will register as a sex offender, Ms. Brisbin said.
Neither the wife nor the child contracted HIV.
