AKRON – A judge in northeastern Ohio has sentenced a 20-year-old woman to four years in prison for having unprotected sex with two men without telling them she was HIV positive. SB was sentenced on Thursday after pleading guilty to felonious assault in Summit County Common Pleas Court. Judge Alison McCarty said prison was appropriate for B because she put the men’s lives at risk by not telling them she has the virus that causes AIDS.
