Woman jailed for deliberately infecting lover with HIV
by STEPHEN WRIGHT, NEIL SEARS and SINEADE McINTRYE, Daily Mail 13:22pm 19th June 2006
Sarah Jane Porter was sentenced to 32 months after admitting grievous bodily harm
A receptionist at an upmarket hair salon deliberately infected her boyfriend with HIV in a revenge attack on black men who she blamed for giving her the disease.
Sarah Jane Porter, 43, who works at the Knightsbridge branch of Vidal Sassoon, set out to infect a string of men after contracting the Aids virus from a black lover.
Over a five-year period, she is thought to have had unprotected sex with with dozens of people who were unaware she was HIV positive.
A nationwide appeal to trace Porter's former lovers was issued last night as she was jailed for 32 months for deliberately infecting her ex-partner.
At least three other men are known to have had unprotected sex with Porter, the mother of a six-year-old son, but police fear that it may be the 'tip of the iceberg' and dozens more are infected.
Porter contracted the illness in the late 1990s and is thought to have had numerous one-night stands while attending nightclub events in major cities around the country.
Porter's case is the first time in British legal history that a woman has been jailed for passing the virus on to a man.
She kept her condition secret while having regular unprotected sex with the 31-year-old during their two-year relationship.
The DJ and promoter from Tooting, south-west London, described her as 'pure evil' after she allowed him to believe he had passed the virus to her.
'But her cruelty and dishonesty made me feel so worthless,' he said in a statement.
The other three black lovers known to police - including a radio presenter - have been given a clean bill of health after hospital tests.
Porter, of Kennington, south London wept in court yesterday as she was told of the suffering she has caused her former partner.
The boyfriend, referred to as Mr C, attempted suicide following diagnosis.
Psychologists claimed she was in denial about having the disease and the social stigma it carried, Inner London Crown Court heard.
But friends of Porter claim she was driven by a desire to seek revenge on black men whom, they claim, she held responsible for her illness.
When interviewed by police, she refused to answer any questions about her love life, thwarting efforts to find other men who unwittingly risked their health after having unprotected sex with her.
Detectives launched the investigation last year after 36-year-old man - known as Mr B - came forward to report he had heard she had HIV after sleeping with her without a condom.
He had been having regular unprotected sex with her earlier that year before hearing rumours she was HIV positive.
They searched her flat for documents, diaries and computer files and traced Mr C, who described how Porter had given him the virus.
Prosecutor Tom Nicholson said the pair had had an intimate relationship, including unprotected sex, between between February 2001 and May 2003.
The couple moved in together but when he developed a less serious sexually transmitted infection he went for checks, which revealed he also had HIV.
Mr Nicholson said he went back the same day and told Miss Porter and she broke down in tears.
He then blamed himself when she later went for a test which confirmed she had the disease too.
The couple stayed together but the truth then began to emerge when mr 'C' bumped into a man who told him the defendant had become infected years before.
The prosecutor added: 'Having heard that news he confronted her that night with the fact that she had clearly been aware of the fact she was HIV positive.'
Jailing Porter Judge Quentin Campbell said: 'Your victim was devastated that a person whom he loved and respected, you, had lied to him time and time again by your words and actions.
'Your cruelty and dishonesty made him feel worthless. Even though for a while he was more sorry for you than he was for himself.'
He added:' A custodial sentence is quite inevitable and the court sees no grounds whatsoever that the sentence should be suspended.'
He told her she is likely to serve half of her 32-month sentence and spend the remainder on licence.
Speaking after Porter had been sentenced Det Sgt Brian McClusky revealed over 1,000 people had been contacted for information about her sexual activities during the investigation.
He also branded her 'callous' and 'manipulative' as Porter refused to reveal who she might have slept with to enable police to track down other potential victims.
Detectives believe she may have slept with dozens of men around the country while at nightclub events in cities such as Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham.
Porter, who associates with famous DJs on the music scene, also may have infected men she met at many dance and weekend events in south London and in the West End.
Det Sgt McClusky said: 'She went wherever the music events were.'
Referring to Mr C's infection the officer said: 'I feel this might be the tip of the iceberg.'
He appealed for men across Britain who may have had sexual relationships with Porter to come forward and contact police.
Three other men, all from London aged between 30 and 37, apart from Mr C have been tested but their results proved negative.
But the officer said: 'This is a nationwide appeal.'
Det Sgt McClusky continued: 'I have got to have a degree of compassion because she was infected herself.
'She has completely ruined their lives. She has put some of them through an incomprehensible experience.
He added: 'Porter has never answered one question despite our appeals to her. That is callous. I gave her opportunities in interviews to help us help other people.
'They were very articulate professional decent men who were trying to do their best in life.'
Porter, of Falmouth House, Seaton Close, Kennington, London, admitted one count of recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent in May 2003.
A neighbour on the grim council estate where she lived in a two-bed second floor flat with her six-year-old son, was shocked by the news.
The neighbour said: 'Sarah's very friendly, but I wouldn't say she had a very active social life. I just saw her when she was taking her son to school and to karate lessons. What with her having a young child to look after, I wouldn't have thought she had time to go out socialising.'
Vidal Sassoon refused to comment on her case.
A spokesman for the National Aids Trust said that with treatment, Mr C may be able to live a normal life.

I don't like that they charged her with ATTEMPTED murder.
Last I heard HIV was still incurable and fatal. Just because it could be years before they die from it doesn't mean she hasn't SUCCESSFULLY murdered them.
If I give someone a poison that takes years to work, is that not still murder?
It's premeditated mass-murder. Maybe she even qualifies as a serial killer.

Dr-you cant charge someone with murder if they havent died yet.Its like if you shoot someone and they are critical in the hospital,they will charge you with attempted murder.Then when the victim dies,they upgrade the charge to murder.

They can't charge her with murder until there is an actual death attributable to her.
She should be charged with aggrevated assault on every man she had unprotected sex with since her diagnosis and be given consectutive sentences then charged with murder when/if any of her partners die from the disease.

She became positive and had sex with all those men well after the seriousness of AIDS was well known. She needs to be prosecuted for the stiffest available crime, and the dipsticks she made it with deserve their fate too.
