AN HIV-positive man who had unprotected sex with a young woman is expected to be released on a wholly suspended jail term and community-based order.
The prosecution has accepted this would be an appropriate sentence for Lam Kuoth, and yesterday County Court judge Paul Lacava said he agreed “in principle”.
But he ordered a pre-sentence report, saying “I am most anxious to ensure the community’s protection if there was any release.”
Kuoth, 29, formerly of the Geelong suburb of Norlane, knew he was HIV-positive when he had sex with the unwitting woman last year. She was not infected.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of recklessly endangering a person.
