Los Angeles, June 24 (IANS) One of actor Charlie Sheen’s former girlfriends has reportedly filed a lawsuit accusing him of exposing her to HIV, and then dissuading her from taking antiretroviral drugs. This is the second time he has been accused of the same.

Although neither Sheen nor his former girlfriend have been named in the suit which was filed on Thursday here, the defendant referred to as “confidential male defendant” is said to have learned he was HIV positive in 2011 and gave national TV interviews about his HIV status on November 17, 2015, and June 21, 2016, reports variety.com.

The plaintiff is identified as Jane Doe, and is described as a “Russian émigré”.
