A Jamaican born man who was deported for being in the UK illegally following an investigation into him infecting a woman with HIV has been jailed 14 years after the offence.
Jermaine Scott, 39, was yesterday sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm at Chester Crown Court.
Scott was arrested in February 2011 on suspicion of recklessly infecting a woman in 2009 but was later released due to a lack of evidence.
He was deported to Jamaica nine months later, but extradited to the UK last year after new evidence came to light.
Cheshire Police said Scott was diagnosed with HIV in 2005 and had been prescribed medication to minimise the risk of transmission to others.
The police said Scott was not regularly taking the tablets when he had unprotected sex with the woman and failed to tell her he had HIV.
The woman later tested positive for HIV and Scott fled.
