A dance coach in Memphis has been charged with the statutory rape of one of his students and exposing him to HIV.

Last year, John Conner III allegedly met his 16-year-old victim on social media and later made arrangements to meet the student in person, according to the affidavit.

According to WREG-TV, although Conner was aware he had HIV, he did not warn the boy. Police said the pair had unprotected sex on multiple occasions in addition to exchanging texts messages that included nude photos.

Conner, 27, was arrested Friday. He previously appeared on a Lifetime reality show, “Bring It!”
