A Pennsylvania man with H.I.V. was sentenced on Wednesday to 33 to 66 months in prison for having unprotected sex with three women without telling them about his condition, the second time he has been imprisoned for the offense.

The man, Ricky Webster, 26, of Wilson, Pa., pleaded guilty to nine counts of reckless endangerment and will also face two years of probation. He expressed remorse at his sentencing in Northampton County, Pa., but Senior Judge Leonard N. Zito was unmoved.

“This ranks among the most cowardly of human acts,” Judge Zito said, according to The Morning Call. “What he did, what Ricky Webster did, was to steal the lives of these young girls.”

Attempts on Thursday to reach Mr. Webster’s lawyer, Matthew Potts, were unsuccessful. A woman who answered the phone at a number listed in his father’s name declined to comment.
