Darren Garcia: How has HIV-positive prostitute allegedly been able to offend again and again?
…
Garcia was reportedly busted for prostitution with the knowledge of AIDS for the first time in Denver in 2007 and received an eighteen-month sentence. Nonetheless, she was arrested on the same charge in November 2009. According to information in the Westword post linked above, she offered to perform sexual acts for $50, and at the time of her arrest, she was found to have crack cocaine in her possession, leading to a second felony charge, possession of a controlled substance. But she served only six months behind bars that time around.
…
“A regular prostitution arrest is usually done as a city ordinance violation,” she says. “But prostitution with the knowledge of AIDS is a class-five felony, with a presumptive sentencing range of up to three years in prison.”
In both instances, though, Garcia wasn’t convicted of this act. Instead, she pleaded guilty to attempted prostitution with the knowledge of AIDS, a class-six felony that can net up to eighteen months in a Department of Corrections facility, or half as much as a class-five felony.
