Nadja Benaissa Found Guilty - No Prison Though

The German pop singer Nadja Benaissa was found guilty of causing bodily harm to her ex-boyfriend when she had unprotected sex with him knowing she was HIV positive. Her ex was infected as a result of this encounter. She could have been sentenced to ten years in jail, but a judge in Germany gave her a suspended two year sentence and 300 hours of community service.

The prosecutor said he was fine with the sentence because she showed remorse and that it happened a long time ago when she was younger. Well, sure anything that happened in the past would make the person younger, but she was 24 at the time. A microbiologist was able to determine that the ex boyfriend had the same type of strain of AIDS virus because it is an extremely rare strain.

I am on the fence about this. The guy has to live with this for the rest of his life and she should have told him, but at the same time, he does share some responsibility to be safe. She should have told him. I do know that she should have to pay his medical bills for the rest of his life, but maybe no jail was right. What do you think?

German HIV+ Singer Released From Jail

Nadja Benaissa was released from jail today. Nadja is the German popstar arrested for allegedly having unprotected sex with 3 men despite knowing she was HIV+. Nadja had spent the past two weeks in jail, but yesterday a judge in Darmstadt released the singer from jail and the arrest warrant was "postponed." Apparently the prosecutors are having a tough time moving this case forward. Maybe the people who said they had sex with her to the police don't want to say they had sex with her while at trial. The prosecutors say it is kind of like bail and that no one should think they are dropping the case. Uh huh.

It would be pretty tough to say she had sex with someone if they don't have a witness or a videotape or something. Yesterday was also the first time that Nadja had been allowed to see her daughter since she had been arrested. I didn't know that she had a daughter. It kind of makes me not like Nadja even more. I mean would she want some guy who was HIV+ to have sex with her daughter and not tell the daughter he was positive? So why would Nadja allegedly do that to the guys with whom she had sex?
