AN offender has admitted to assaulting a woman by knowingly infecting her HIV.
Jermaine Scott entered a guilty plea at Chester Crown Court this morning, Wednesday, to a charge of unlawfully and maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm upon a person.
The court heard how this arose during an incident which took place in Runcorn in 2009 and was investigated by Cheshire Police.
The 39-year-old male was extradited to the UK from Jamaica on November 3 and subsequently arrested at Gatwick Airport.
Scott, whose address given during his appearance before Chester Magistrates’ Court in November after his extradition was Blacker Road in Huddersfield, is due to appear back before Chester Crown Court to be sentenced next month.
