Dangerous offender label no longer sought for HIV-positive woman

Jennifer Murphy, 40, was recently convicted of aggravated sexual assault a second time for failing to tell a sex partner she had HIV.

The Crown will no longer seek a “dangerous offender” or “long-term offender” designation for a woman found guilty for the second time of aggravated sexual assault after she failed to tell a sexual partner she had HIV.

A sentencing hearing for Jennifer Murphy, 40, was adjourned last week in Barrie after Crown attorney Bhavna Bhangu sought approval from the attorney general to pursue one of the serious criminal designations.

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
