A MAN has pleaded guilty to infecting two women with HIV.
Aaron Sutcliffe, 29, of Fleetwood, Lancashire admitted having unprotected sex with the women without informing them of his infectious condition.
He pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm by having sex with one of his victims on a date between January and May 2016.
But it's not the first time that Sutcliffe has infected a women through unprotected sex.
Sutcliffe pleaded guilty to the same offence involving another woman between January 2009 and September 2010.
Sutcliffe is currently the complainant in a separate, ongoing police investigation into claims he was himself infected by a man.
The hearing was adjourned for pre-sentence and psychiatric reports, with sentencing provisionally scheduled for November 2.
Sutcliffe was granted bail on the conditions of non-contact with the complainants and residence at a registered address.
In June, Blackpool magistrates granted Lancashire police an application for a sexual risk prevention order against Sutcliffe, which requires him to get permission from police to have sex with any new partner.
The two-year order means he must provide contact details of partners to the force’s public protection unit and then wait for written approval before he engages in sex.
