Sumlin was charged with attempted murder and criminal transmission of the AIDS virus. According to the police in Pembroke Pines, Florida, the man then allegedly bragged about his actions on Facebook.
According to reports, the boy told his mother that the two men slept together and that he later heard that he was HIV-positive. The mother took her son to the hospital for an HIV test, and that’s where he found out that he is now positive.

Before they had intercourse, police say that the man lied and said that he was 21. But he then asked the boy, “Are you really 18 years old?”
When the boy told him “no,” the man allegedly asked, “Are you 17?” That’s when the boy said “Younger.”
In spite of the age differential, the man then proceeded to have unprotected intercourse with the boy. He met the defendant on a mobile phone app and the man invited him to his home.
A friend told the boy that Sumlin “has a secret Facebook page wherein he posts videos of himself engaging in a one sex with males that appear to be under the age of 18,” according to the police report.
The police have confirmed that such videos do exist, and Pembroke Pines detective Michael Silver says that he saw the videos himself.
“I f—ed this little boy, videotaped it and added it to the online group,” Sumlin said in the video, according to the police report. “And I don’t use condoms when I have sex and you call me sick, don’t worry about me, worry about who gave it to them.”
Sumlin is now in the Broward County Jail.
