Missed the edit window: “Sleeping with a married man that you thought was single doesn’t carry that risk” although I suppose in certain cases, sleeping with a married woman that you thought was single could potentially carry a risk to life and limb if her husband finds out and has a shotgun… but that would be a new intervening fact 😉 ---

Thank-you very much for clarifying those two points for me. I guess my PhD in _Law and Order_ isn’t worth much after all 🙂 It still seems to me that there should be some personal accountability here, but I guess the Supreme Court disagrees with me. Schmucks. ---

There was a European woman who admitted in an interview with a reporter in Tobago that she was HIV+ and was intentionally having unprotected sex with as many men as possible in an effort to get cosmic revenge on whoever gave it to her. She was deported to Europe. \*The transmission rate for female to male is pretty low, unknown if she succeeded. ---

Update: The Crown wants to declare Ms. Skanky-pants to be a “dangerous offender.” > **[Latest News - Breaking News Stories | Simcoe.com](https://www.simcoe.com)** > > Stay informed with the latest news updates from the Simcoe County news website. Breaking news, top stories, politics, business, sports, & more. I don’t know, I think those guys who willingly boned a total stranger without protection are pretty “dangerous” too, if we’re all worried about transmitting viruses. ---

> [@miss\_elizabeth](#): > > I’m not really trying to prove a point so much as point out to the people engaging in recreational outrage what the natural evolution of their ideas are. I understand that people are upset about this. What she did was extremely immoral and awful and scary. But if what she did is _illegal_ then it opens up a lot of questions. If this is rape by deception, as someone else said, then how is lying about having a spouse not also rape by deception? If it’s attempted murder, then how is exposing people to the flu not also attempted murder? > > These men had unprotected sex with a woman who they did not know, and they did not ask her HIV status. She used protection at least once with one of these men, so she was amenable to using protection, she simply didn’t insist on it. I truly really no-fooling am ok with prosecuting her for this, but I honest to god wonder how some of the people in this thread would react if it the justifications to prosecute here were used in other, similar circumstances. It’s not rape by deception. She can be successfully prosecuted, but not for rape by deception. Are you OK, no foolin’ good with prosecuting her for aggravated sexual assault, where the gravamen of her crime was failure to use protection or inform her partner about her HIV+ status?
