June Amanda Tippeneskum, a 23-year-old Thunder Bay resident, plead guilty to aggravated assault against her partner from June 1, 2009 to July 21, 2010 and was sentenced April 27 by Justice Dino DiGiuseppe in the Ontario Court of Justice in Thunder Bay.
The sentencing report noted that Tippeneskum had been aware of her HIV positive condition but she did not disclose this to her male partner. It was only after the relationship was over that her partner became aware of Tippeneskum’s medical condition. He has since been tested and confirmed as HIV positive. He was not infected prior to his relationship with Tippeneskum.
Tippeneskum has been in continuous custody from Nov. 29 and her five months in pre-sentence custody were considered in her sentencing, with the justice noting 42 months was a fit sentence for aggravated assault.
The Judge has said the sentence handed down must send a clear message to Tippeneskum and others that this type of conduct will carry significant consequences. #juneamandatippeneskum #hivandaids #thunderbay #ontario
