The title should read, “Pop Singer Should go to Prison”. Tradiionally we hear about men who get jail time for this sort of stupidity. Their only defense was that they were angry that they had caught the disease. Well DUH! Why didn’t you use a rubber? What’s good for the guys should be good for the gals. You do not get a “get out of jail card” like in Monopoly. Go directly to jail.
