TORONTO, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Canada's federal court has ordered an HIV-positive stripper kept in a Toronto jail until she is deported to Thailand.
Suwalee Iamkhong, 39, was sentenced in August 2007 to three years in jail for criminal negligence causing bodily harm for infecting her husband and immigration sponsor Percy Whiteman.
A bid to grant her release on bond was denied by Justice Michel Shore, the Toronto Sun reported.
"If the respondent reoffends by having unprotected sex, this would result in irreparable harm for a victim," Shore wrote in his decision.
Whiteman said he didn't know of Iamkhong's HIV status until she collapsed in 2004 and was hospitalized. He also alleges she had unprotected sex with other men during their marriage, which lasted from 1997 to 2004, the Sun said.
"I never knew she was a prostitute in Hong Kong before coming to Canada," he said. "Everything came out in court."
There was no word on when the deportation was scheduled.
