I know it’s not some kind of breaking news but I still feel it’s worth blogging about. Back in spring 2009 the world was shocked by the reports that German pop singer Nadja Benaissa was arrested on suspicion of having had unprotected sex in 2004 and 2006 without telling her partners that she was HIV-positive. Subsequently, one of the partners was indeed diagnosed with HIV and Nadja was accused of causing bodily harm and was facing up to ten years imprisonment.
On February 12, 2010 Ms Benaissa was charged with causing bodily harm. On August 16, 2010 she admitted in court to having had unprotected sex without telling her partners she was HIV positive, but denied deliberately causing any infection.
The trial is expected to conclude before the end of this month.
I know how hard it must be for her to live with the disease but I do believe she should be charged and should go to jail as what she did is unforgivable! It’s almost like homicide!
Nadja Benaissa shot to fame with the pop band No Angels in 2002. By that time she was well aware of her HIV-positive diagnosis. She found out she was positive when she was 17 and pregnant with her daughter.
In case you can’t remember who the singer is, check out the video below.
