Christopher Miller (Greenville County).

A South Carolina man has allegedly admitted to knowingly exposing a woman to HIV without telling her — and now she is seven months pregnant with his child, according to police.

Christopher Miller, of Mauldin, is charged with unlawfully exposing others to HIV and financial identity fraud after cops learned of his alleged actions on July 12, according to the local Fox affiliate WHNS.

Miller”s arrest report, obtained by the outlet, details how officers were called to his apartment complex after receiving reports of a disturbance. When they arrived, Miller allegedly gave the officers a fake name due to having warrants out for his arrest, WHNS reports.

When officers reportedly questioned Miller about what happened and what led to the disturbance, he allegedly admitted to exposing the woman to HIV.

Miller allegedly told police he didn’t want the woman he exposed to HIV to know about his health status, so that’s why he kept it under wraps. Authorities say the woman will give birth to Miller’s child in the coming months.

In South Carolina, it is a felony — punishable by a fine of no more than $5,000 and possible imprisonment for up to 10 years — for someone who knows their HIV status to “knowingly engage in penile-vaginal, anal, or oral sex” with another person without first informing them about their HIV status, according to The Center for HIV Law and Policy. “Neither actual transmission nor the intent to transmit HIV is necessary for prosecution,” the center reports.

Online records show that Miller was booked into the Greenville County Detention Center and is currently being held on a combined $60,000 cash or surety bond.

According to the HIV Law and Policy Center, there have been numerous prosecutions and charges handed down in South Carolina over the past 15 years to people accused of failing to disclose their HIV status prior to engaging in consensual sex. One case from 2009 saw a 41-year-old with HIV who was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill after biting his neighbor. The charge was later dismissed after the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan (ACLU) argued that it was inappropriate and “outrageous.”
