abc.net.au — Victims of crime are angry that a HIV positive man, who pleaded guilty to having unprotected sex with a woman without telling her about his condition is not going to jail. The man was sentenced to two years in Melbourne this morning but the judge suspended the sentence and placed him on a two year community-based order. Alison Caldwell reports. ALISON CALDWELL: 29-year-old Lam Kuoth pleaded guilty to two counts of reckless conduct endangering another person. Twice last year he had unprotected sex with a woman he met at an inner city nightclub. He didn't tell her that he had HIV. The County Court was told Kuoth was unwilling to come to terms with his diagnosis and that he'd been placed under a supervision order by the Department of Human Services. The Court also heard that his prospects for lasting rehabilitation were uncertain and that it was of paramount importance to protect the community from him. Even so, today Justice Paul Lacava sentenced him to two years jail, suspended for three years and placed him on a two year community-based order.
