'Danger to women' jailed for six years

Judge David Lynch jailed Adaye for four years for inflicting grievous bodily harm, a year for bigamy, and a year for deception, all of which will be served consecutively.

He also recommended that Adaye is deported.

Judge Lynch told Adaye: "I cannot imagine a greater degree of grievous bodily harm than infecting a person with a virus of that nature."

Last November asylum seeker 38-year-old Mohammed Dica, from London, became the first person in Britain to be convicted of deliberately infecting two women with the HIV virus and was jailed for eight years.

DC Coulthard said: "Adaye is a ruthless predator and his victim is completely devastated. That man, from the moment he set foot on British soil, deceived everyone he met."

WEST AFRICAN COUNTRY WHERE ONE IN TEN ARE AFFECTED

THE Ivory Coast is a West African country that has particularly suffered from HIV and Aids in recent years, writes Emily Ashton.

Aids affects one in ten people there, and a fifth of these are teenagers and pregnant women. The country's public health service estimates more than 12pc of the population will be HIV positive by next year, which will lead to the deaths of 2000 people a week.

The crippling effects of the disease add to the political turmoil the Ivory Coast has suffered from since 1999, as rebel forces drive out nationals and foreign workers into neighbouring states.

Some say that Aids is the most political of diseases; recently African government representatives have openly discussed the possibility of entire countries being wiped out.

More than 420,000 have perished in the Ivory Coast since the first case was reported in 1985. It is thought the commercial centre Abidjan's active port and open-door policies, which

attract a lot of foreign commere and international visitors, are to blame for the wide spread of the disease.

A recent report by Kenyan health authorities has suggested that figures for the Aids deaths have been over-estimated, and that millions of Africans are actually free from the disease.
