News Briefs Reno, Nevada, Prostitute with AIDS Gets Six-Year SentenceJuly 12, 2002 Reno, Nev., prostitute Diane Pauly, 33, has been sentenced to six years in prison for continuing to solicit sex after she tested HIV-positive. Pauly learned she was HIV-positive after being arrested in March. She was arrested again in April. Court-appointed lawyer Lyn Carlson urged Washoe District Judge James W. Hardesty to put Pauly on probation so she could get a mental health evaluation, but prosecutors said she deserves jail time because she repeated the offences and lacks remorse. Pauly could have been sentenced to 10 years; she will be eligible for parole in 18 months. "You present a risk to society," Hardesty told Pauly. Nevada is the only state where prostitution is legal in some counties; it is not legal in Reno. Last September, prostitute Kristi Lynne Manese was sentenced to five years in prison for soliciting sex while knowing she was HIV-positive.
