1. You missed out an important clue, which is that, preceding this, we are told that he was "******** dozens of girls". "ze" is a non-native pronunciation of "the", typically associated with French speakers; "ze AID" I assume is a broken-English way of saying "AIDS", while "ze crab" means "crabs", or pubic lice.
