PEMBROKE PINES — Two Pembroke Pines men have been arrested for several counts of sexual assault of a minor and failing to reveal their HIV status after allegedly providing drugs to a 16 year old boy, and engaging in unprotected sex, at the same time failing to reveal that one or both of them is HIV positive.

Darrell Allen Evans, 40, and Huy Kien Trinh, 32, are alleged to have met the teenager through the adult social networking app Grindr. The online encounter led to sexually explicit charged text messages and resulted in the boy meeting the men at their Pembroke Pines home on December 12, 2012.

According to court records, the teen met the men and began engaging in fondling and foreplay in the men’s hot tub. After they took the boy to their bedroom, he was given poppers, which the police report says prompted “a relaxed euphoric feeling” in the teen. They are accused of telling him that they are HIV negative, which a redacted statement from the defendants may contradict.

On December 17, the teen helped police by texting messages to Evans and Trinh and talking with them on the phone. In these texts, Evans acknowledged in detail sexual acts in which they engaged. Trinh is alleged to have admitted that “the youngest guy he had sex with was 17.”

Prosecutors are still deciding whether the actions of the men warrant additional attempted murder charges.

“Heavens knows how many victims we may have out there,” said Broward Assistant State Attorney Eric Linder at a January 11 hearing. He told Broward County Judge Ian Richards that the men “regularly meet other males and engage in unprotected sex without notifying them that they are HIV positive.”

Richards set the bond for Evans at $410,000 and for Trinh, $420,000, and ordered both men to avoid accessing the Internet, to stop associating with minors, and to cease engaging in sex with anyone.

Although Richards did not charge either man with attempted murder, he told them “I do consider you a threat to the community.”
