A Swiss man who claimed to be a healer was arrested by local police Friday afternoon. The man is accused of infecting 16 people with HIV between 2001 and 2005.
Maurice Goeller, 53, is believed to have spread the disease through needle sticks he used during illegal acupuncture sessions. Goeller is a music teacher and many of the people he infected were students who attended his classes, reports Atlanta Cbs local.
The illegal acupuncture sessions were uncovered after Thomas Kaiser was diagnosed with the HIV virus. An investigation was launched after Kaiser told doctors he could only have been infected during Mr. Goeller’s sessions.
The investigation found 15 other people had been infected with the virus. Goeller claims he’s innocent.
