Edmonton Police Arrest HIV-positive Teen

A girl was arrested by Edmonton police for having unprotected sex without telling her partners she is HIV positive. Seventeen-year-old Kyra Peterson was arrested Saturday after police put out a public warning.

They got a court order to release her name and picture to the public. This was after two young men came forward to accuse the girl of not telling her partners about her HIV status. Both men said they had sex with the girl in the past month.

After the warning came out, a third man approached police. She is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and set to appear in court August 9.
