Alleged Prostitute Charged with Failing to Disclose HIV Status Says He Was Raped by Indiana Mayor<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Wigle-Stevens\"<\/p>\n

An Indiana<\/a> mayor posted bond yesterday after facing one count of patronizing prostitute Randy Wigle-Stevens last June. <\/span><\/p>\n

The case came to light after Wigle-Stevens claimed on July 19 that he had been raped by Batesville City mayor Richard Fledderman (below right).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fledderman\"Fox 19 reports<\/a> Wigle-Stevens told police that the rape took place while Fledderman was receiving a massage in his home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Several days later, Wigle-Stevens called Fledderman to demand more money. The two met in a Staples store parking lot in Greensburg, Indiana and Fledderman handed over the money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fledderman has insisted that sex<\/a> between the men<\/a> was consensual and initially claimed that he had only been seeking a massage. However, he later admitted to police that he also was looking for someone with whom he could have sex<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the investigation, police discovered Wigle-Stevens is HIV positive and had not disclosed his medical status to Fledderman. He has been charged with failure to disclose dangerous communicable disease status, prostitution and intimidation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wigle-Stevens maintains that sex<\/a> between the two was not consensual and says he is now being victimized by the legal system.<\/span><\/p>\n
