Police charge Polish prostitute with spreading HIV Investigators said the woman has admitted having sex with clients in the full knowledge she risked infecting them with HIV. If found guilty, she faces three years behind bars. Police are now trying to establish just how many men might be at risk but said it could even be "hundreds" given that the woman, who has not been named for legal reasons, plied her trade in Gdynia, the neighbouring city of Gdansk and the popular holiday resort of Sopot from 2006 onwards. Operating under the name of Malinka the 36-year-old blond prostitute advertised on the internet as an exclusive "escort girl" or companion but also offered a wide range of sexual services, and over the years has built up a substantial client base. "She was fun and the clients liked her for it; none of us knew about the HIV," a colleague's of Malinka told the Polish newspaper Super Express."She handled about eight to 14 clients a day. Some were the beautiful and the rich, others were well known from TV. Police discovered internet forums on which clients boasted about their exploits with Malinka. The case came to light after a client infected with HIV came forward and contacted the police, but the motive behind the alleged crime remains secret. "The woman has admitted to the offense and given an explanation but for the moment I can't reveal the details," said Beata Gora, from the Gdynia's prosecutor's office. This case is still in its infancy and we need to try and work out just how many people have been affected. A police source quoted in the newspaper Fakt said the number of infected men could be "enormous."
