GERMANY-HIV/TRIAL

No jail for “No Angels” singer in HIV rap.

Nadja Benaissa, a member of the popular German girl band, won’t be heading to prison despite being found guilty of having unprotected sex with men and failing to inform them she was HIV positive.

A court in Germany spared the 28-year-old of jail time, and instead sentenced her to a two-year suspended sentence, according to the German news agency, ddp.

Benaissa was on trial for grievous bodily harm and attempted aggravated assault.

The one-time pop star was tried in juvenile court because the sexual encounters began when she was 17, which is also the age she was when she learned she had HIV after a pregnancy test.

    Yes a shame indeed…all those who she infected should come for her head on a silver platter.
    Just absoluetly lame reckless behavior for no damn reason at all smh.

    First of all she should have let him know from the gate she had it! She just took that man’s life away from him. So i personally think her ass should be in jail! For every action there is a reaction! And the secret is out boo-boo so trust me you will be the talk of the town now!

    Just shows you what kind of society we live in, If this was a man doing this to women he would of been doing some serious time if he was found guilty. Elin woods isn’t even tried for attempted assault and this woman won’t be doing any time for basically murder.

    I just can’t get over she knew she had HIV and still had sex without telling all those people and now they had sex with other people and keeping HIV alive and well. A crying shame is what this is. I say to the black men and women go get tested and then have sex once you get the answer you want and always rap it up…STD and BABY is a life time thing.(JMO)

    I also agree with everyone below me.

    Her alleged victim is just as guilty as she is.
    If he didn’t bother to protect his own life why would he expect that Nadja would.

    And last, we already know she has HIV, but do YOU know whether or not YOU or YOUR partner has HIV?

    Think about this.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/makedakaluwa/ makedakaluwa

    I’m glad she got a suspended sentence. Wrap it up or masturbate people. lol.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/STDCarriers/ STDCarriers

    LOL! “she shoulda bin found dead instead of found guilty” Well said digg_it_up. You sound like a guy who would like the idea of my public STD Carrier Registry where you can warn other about b***hes that have STDs and spread them around.

    I think she should have gotten at least a couple of years, but nothing? That’s outrageous and ridiculous. Think about it. If Martha Stewart can get a few months for insider trading, shouldn’t Nadja Benaissa get at least a few months for inside her betraying?

    Wouldn’t this constitute an assault with a deadly weapon? This is definitely reckless endangerment of some sort.

    Sure, her partners could have worn a condom. She could have worn a condom. They trusted her (that’s what lovers do) and they’re paying for it.

    Now, an example needs to be made. When a misfortune happens, the person who is made to pay is the person who was the most reckless. So I ask, is sleeping with someone you trust without using a condom a reckless thing?

    How about sleeping with someone without using a condom, and not telling the person you’ve got an incurable and contagious deadly disease; is that reckless?

    This type of behavior among hiv/aids patients is not uncomon.Their are hiv/aids patients having unprotected sex with people and not revealing their status.The psycological toll that accompanies hiv/aids patients run the gamet of denial,fear shame,guilt,isolation,abadonment and rejection.People that are asymtomatic believe they recieved the wrong test results.Some people also believe that if they are infected other people should be out of revenge.I took care of a 34yo positive man,who was spitting in his hand and rubbing the saliva on the public elevator knobs.Another young black man was caught urinating on several occassions in the public ice chest.I am by no means justifying this behavior ,but if you knew the overwhelming psycological toll that positive people endure it might make a little more since.People should treat all potential partners as positive.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/killasweet82/ killasweet82

    this goes to show that b***hes always get away with s**t, she should be doing at least 15 years, but no shes gets a suspended sentence, i will always believe that men of power let b***hes get away with s**t because in there mind they might get some p***y, even if its some sickly p***y. i see it on the bus all the time, i as a man can get on the bus and forget my metrocard, or be short on change and the driver will be three times as likely to kick me off the bus, compared to if it was a chick that was in the same situation. an asst./friend told me that he went to court for a ticket and the male judge let a chick off without paying a fine but charged the dudes that were charged for the same crime, its all over the place, b***h kills her kids, crazyhouse, dude kills one kid, 20years-life, dude drives drunk kills someone years in jail, chick, months.its f**king sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/killasweet82/ killasweet82

    Some men are so quick to hit it raw but no excuse for her not telling her sexual partners. She should have her HIV status branded to her forehead. I agree with Venitabrooks, people should treat all potential partners as positive at least until you know their status.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/annette0072/ annette0072

    it didn’t all start with this girl… who should’ve been honest… but someone gave it to her… and then someone gave it to that person and on and on… she isn’t the only guilty party… jail time? nope. we should take responsibility for our choices… why should she be concerned about you or your health more than you should be…

    This is not something that she did on her own. If men want to protect themselves they most certainly know how. When it comes to sex both parties should show signs of responsibility. As many that has died from Aids, as aware as the doctors try to make people aware you still have ppl that walk around as though it won’t happen to them and when it does now they are supposedly the victim. Men and women should treat everyone that they decided to be with as though they have AIDS and be more responsible. I am not understanding why she is getting a slap on the hand when they locked a guy here in the US up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsBLittlejohn/ MsBLittlejohn

    She should have definetly got some jail time!! The way she was smirking in court the whole time she couldnt care less about anyone, not even herself. Its sad that yes someone gave it to her but just like she should have protected herself , the men should have protected themselves as well. She looks like the type of female to say well someone gave it to me so im going to give it to as many people as i can! Damn Shame!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    @blazinPotPie37
    “This is not something that she did on her own”

    You’ve got to be shiiting me! She didn’t give him HIV on her own? It was a conspiracy between she and all of the other people she slept with, to target the current guy, in the future! Kind of like Terminator 5 plot or something? WTF are you thinking? SHE DID IT, she should be in jail. Yeah wrap it up blah blah but the guy having sex, with his girlfriend, there is a level of trust that gets established. Haven’t you been in a relationship, ever? So it’s then up to that trusted partner, to come clean before any kind of sex happens. So you can say it takes 2 to tang0, but when you knew you had a fatal disease, you’ve to be mental to say something like duh “This is not something that she did on her own”. Knowingly infecting your partner is their fault, I know, because he’s a man and this poor, innocent victim, is a woman, right?

    People think only a condom is going to help them out when really you have to take a lot of other precautions. When scientists are doing HIV lab tests they use full body suits and gloves. We’re dealing with fluids that can go beyond our genitals. Don’t have a cut on your hand or fingertips or lips or you’re dead meat. Yeah she should tell her partners she is HIV positive. But at that age, I’m sure it was overwhelming for her and she was mad at the world. It’s a crazy world we live in.

    she’s dumb for not telling the fact, dudes got really f*cked cuz they did her raw!!!!! SMH

    she should face the same life sentence the guys have to face for sexing with her plus the guys need to whipped for going unprotected. they both are wrong but let her go free is just plain stupid and wrong . she must have worked the court system

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AStyle/ AStyle

    man anyone who defends this chick is showing a double-standard and is probably HIV positive too. Had this been a man, he would’ve got the book thrown at him and spent the rest of his natural life in prison. Most of you are right, but YOU CANNOT DEFEND SOMEONE, ANYONE, WHO HAS UNPROTECTED SEX KNOWING THEY ARE HIV POSITIVE. Yes the dude is a dumbass for not finding out her sexual history, but as far as I know HIV positive people aren’t protected by some twisted version of the ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell’ law. In my book, what she did is no different from attempted or pre-meditated murder. S**tty ass should’ve gotten 10yrs just to be made an example of.
