A 5-year-old girl is undergoing treatment for possible HIV infection after the man charged with raping her -- an illegal alien who was previously deported to Mexico -- admitted he has the virus, authorities said.
The case has re-energized some state lawmakers to push for tougher penalties for people who commit * crimes and knowingly expose their victims to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Julio Cesar Cruz Martinez, 32, of Fairhope is being held in a segregated unit at the Baldwin County Corrections Center on charges of first-degree rape, sexual abuse and sodomy, a jail official said Wednesday.
Police said Martinez has confessed to some of the acts involving the girl and to knowing he had HIV before the crime reportedly occurred Sept. 13.
Officers notified the family immediately after Martinez disclosed his infection, sheriff's spokesman Lt. John Murphy said.
