Chef Mark Devereaux most recently a resident of Dundee, Scotland plead guilty to four charges of culpable and reckless conduct after knowingly exposing at least four women to HIV through unprotected sex despite knowing of his condition since 1994. When questioned by police on July 24, 2009 he claimed that he was not sure that he was HIV positive due to being "in denial" and that after years of showing no symptoms he was able to "completely forget" that he was HIV positive.
One of these women who he had cheated on multiple times during their six year relationship found out that she was infected while three months pregnant with twins. After finding out that she was HIV positive she aborted what most likely would have been Devereaux's children.
The abortion effectively eliminated Deveraux from eligibility for the upcoming 2010 first annual STD Carriers father of the year award. The three other women he endangered tested negative.
