German singer avoids jail over HIV infection
A singer in a German pop group avoided jail today after she was convicted of causing bodily harm to her ex-boyfriend by having unprotected sex with him, despite knowing she was infected with HIV.
Nadja Benaissa, aged 28, broke down in tears after she was given a two-year suspended prison sentence and ordered to carry out 300 hours of community service after she was convicted in a Darmstadt administrative court.
