A former airman he said he awoke to find a training instructor having sex with him after a night of drinking on their base in Kyrgyzstan — and later learned he was positive for the virus that causes AIDS.
A doctor testified Friday that Tech. Sgt. Bobby Bass, who faces life in prison on charges of sexually assaulting the airman and abusing 16 other recruits in basic training, is not HIV-positive.
But the airman, identified as Victim 1, said his life unraveled after the incident and led to his dismissal from the Air Force on drug charges.
“He says he felt like, in a split second he had two choices: One, he could go absolutely crazy or two, he could just be quiet, and he chose to be quiet,” said Col. Polly Kenny, staff judge advocate for the 2nd Air Force in Biloxi, Miss., where Bass is on trial.
