Porn star Bree Olson spent six months living in Charlie Sheen's mansion. They had unprotected sex. He insisted on lambskin condoms - the kind that don't block viruses. Doctors showed up at his house every single week. She was 24 and never asked why. Then he went on live television and told the entire world he was HIV positive. He never told her. She found out sitting on her couch, watching the Today Show, the same way as 300 million other Americans. In 2011 she was one of the biggest names in porn. Over 170 films, Penthouse Pet of the Month, Playboy covers, millions of fans. Charlie Sheen - the highest-paid actor on television, $1.8 million per episode - called her up and invited her to move into his Mulholland Drive mansion. She became one of his "goddesses." She was living a life most 24-year-olds can't even imagine. Doctors came to his house once a week. She saw them walk in and walk out. She didn't ask. She trusted him. He told her "I'm clean, I'm clean." She believed him. They split in April 2011. She moved on. Four years passed. Then on November 17, 2015, she turned on the Today Show and saw his face. Charlie Sheen looked into the camera and said the words: "I am in fact HIV positive." He said he'd known for about four years. That put the diagnosis right around the time she was sleeping in his bed. He never called her. Not before the broadcast. Not after. Not once in four years. She went on the Howard Stern Show and got tested live on air. The result was negative. But she said the terror of waiting for that result was something she would never forget. She called him a "monster." She told Inside Edition: "I could literally be dead right now because he did not tell me that." She said he doesn't value her life. That he knew what he had and chose to protect his reputation instead of protecting her. No charges were ever filed. After she left porn, nobody would hire her. She said employers treated her like a "pedophile." She wrote: "Porn didn't hurt me. The way society treats me for having done it does." She survived. But she had to live through months of not knowing whether the most famous man she'd ever been with had given her a death sentence - and he didn't even have the decency to warn her himself. Should a man who hides an HIV diagnosis from the women in his bed face prison, or is a ruined reputation punishment enough?
