TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — A Tallahassee woman has been sentenced three years in prison for having sex with a minor and infecting a person with HIV.
Dana Rosier, 34, plead no contest to one count of sexual activity with a 16 or 17 year old and one count of unlawfully infecting a person with HIV on April 23, according to court documents.
As part of her plea, Rosier has been sentenced to three years in the Department of Corrections for each charge. Those sentences will be served concurrently followed by five years of sexual offender probation.
At maximum, Rosier would have been facing 15 years in prison for sexual activity with a 16 or 17 year old and 30 years for unlawfully infecting a person with HIV.
According to court documents, Rosier knowingly and regularly had sex with a 17-year-old from April 2017 to July 2017, with some of the sex acts being captured on camera. The victim, who was 17 at the time, told investigators that Rosier knew the victim was 17 years old and told the victim that she didn't care.
When investigators talked to Rosier, she told them that "she was not currently sexually active because she is HIV positive." However, the victim told police that Rosier denied being HIV positive when asked before they had sex the first time and didn't know Rosier's actual HIV status.
In September 2017, investigators confirmed that Rosier was HIV positive and charged her voluntary transmission of HIV. That charge was consolidated into one count of unlawfully infecting a person with HIV.
