Charlie Sheen HIV+ News: "Anger Management" actor Charlie Sheen recently admitted that he was HIV positive. Legal-Bay says reports have come out that six ex-lovers of Charlie Sheen plan to sue him. They allege that he hid his HIV status from them before they had sex. The Cash funding firm also pointed out that Bill Cosby is facing multiple sexual misconduct and abuse lawsuits. Charlie Sheen broke the news on the TODAY show in an interview with Matt Lauer.

According to RadarOnline.com, Charlie Sheen paid his ex-wife, Denise Richards, $110,000 in child support payments two weeks after his HIV announcement.

"At most he was behind two months by missing a payment because he switched business managers," an insider told RadarOnline.com.

"Charlie gave Denise a gift of $1 million a few years ago above any child support to help with her backyard. He advanced her significant money over a year ago in which there is a large credit that has not been used - in excess of her monthly child support."

Sheen also got some support from Ricki Lake. The actress and TV host was talking with Entertainment Tonight about a new initiative called #TreatmentForAll.

"I think it was incredibly brave of him. Anytime we can raise awareness and for him to come out as he did," Lake told ET.

"The fact that he said he's been on treatment since the point of diagnosis. It's very hard to transmit the disease when you're on medication. If everyone, at the point of diagnosis, is put on these anti-viral meds, they not only will not get sicker themselves, but they will keep from transmitting it to other people."

"We are at a point where we can turn it around," Lake added, while explaining that Treatment For All is a digital campaign that was launched to help stop the AIDS epidemic. In addition to Ricki Lake, President Bill Clinton is also involved in the campaign.

Sheen's father, actor Martin Sheen reportedly had been trying to convince Charlie to go public with the news for months.

"It was the most difficult thing he'd ever done. And he kind of sealed it when he called Matt Lauer last week and asked if he could go on," Martin Sheen told a crowd at the CME Group's Global Financial Leadership Conference.

"I couldn't believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son. I left him a message, and I said that if I had that much courage, I would change the world."

Over the last four years, Sheen has paid upwards to $10 million to keep people from going public.

Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports today that in the latest scandal involving Charlie Sheen, six ex-lovers of his plan to sue him for allegedly hiding his HIV status from them before they had sex.

While Charlie Sheen recently revealed that he was HIV positive on the "Today" show, The National Enquirer first reported a story stating that Sheen knew about his diagnosis for years yet continued to have unprotected sex with women and men who were not aware of it.

According to The NY Post, a report by TMZ said that Sheen had insisted "that the virus is 'undetectable' in his system and that he has beaten the disease." Still, he now faces lawsuits from accusers who are arguing that he knew about the HIV-positive status, yet exposed them to the virus anyway. An article in The NY Daily News states that "keeping your HIV-positive status from a lover is a crime in 24 states."

Earlier this month, four more women joined the federal lawsuits against comedian Bill Cosby, "claiming he sexually abused them and later defamed them by letting his representatives publicly label their stories lies," according to The NY Daily News.

The four new women involved are only several among dozens of women who have already come forward stating Cosby molested them "decades ago." Claims also include allegations by women that they were drugged and sexually assaulted by the comedian.

"Sexual misconduct and sexual harassment cases like this unfortunately occur, and cases with large jury or judgment awards take many years to resolve through the courts and appellate process, especially when you have bankruptcy issues that could impact the plaintiff's ability to collect," said Legal-Bay in a statement.

"Legal-Bay is one of the few companies in the lawsuit funding industry that is willing to consider funding of cases involving bankruptcies. Additionally, the company is a leader of sexual misconduct, sexual assault, and sexual harassment suits, whether in the workplace or not, as well as commercial litigation and verdict or judgment on appeal cases.

"This celebrity story is tragic on so many levels. Unfortunately, when dealing with celebrities and potential sex offenses, these cases can drag on like most sexual harassment and abuse cases," said Chris Janish, Legal-Bay's CEO.

"Our underwriting team is well versed in the multitude of sex crime lawsuits and are able to help out potential victims with obtaining the needed cash advance until they receive justice."   

Legal-Bay, a lawsuit money firm, is committed to aiding victims involved in such cases, and any funds received are done risk-free, since the funds only need to be repaid if the plaintiff is ultimately successful in collecting their money.
