Nadja Benaissa, 28, a member of German girl band No Angels, is charged with grievous bodily harm for allegedly infecting a partner with the virus in 2004 and also faces charges of attempted bodily harm for having unprotected sex with two other men.

“I am sorry from my heart,” she said in a statement read by her lawyer to the Darmstadt administrative court. “No way did I want my partner to be infected.”

This is too much tripe for TruthDig to post.

Get some hard hitting news from independent producers/writers…spend some cash to get it.

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.
