Story here. Excerpt:

'A 45-year-old Denver woman was arrested Tuesday and accused of knowingly spreading HIV while allegedly working as a prostitute, Fox 31 reports.

Prosecutors say Frances Woodke -- who has known for years that she is HIV positive -- offered sex to an undercover police officer for $23.

Woodke is being charged with two misdemeanors -- prostitution and solicitation for prostitution -- and a felony count of prostitution with knowledge of AIDS, according to the station.

The woman has pleaded guilty twice before to attempted prostitution with knowledge of AIDS -- spending time in prison for the charges in 2000 and again in 2008, according to the Denver district attorney's office.'

I wonder if they'll blame the "john" for soliciting a prostitute. It's always the man's fault.

I find it very troubling that this is the 3rd offense of this nature. A first I might understand to possibly be due to a lack of knowledge on her part, a 2nd most certainly is not, and a 3rd is beyond excuse that she was allowed to return to her "profession".

How many shall pay the price for the disparate justice shown to this one, and all pay that price with their life forfeit?
