Transgender prostitute refused bail again
A transgender prostitute accused of infecting a West Australian man with HIV has been refused bail for the second time.
Clayton James Palmer, who identifies as Sienna Fox, appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday charged with grievous bodily harm.
One of Palmer's male clients was allegedly diagnosed with HIV in September after having unprotected sex with her between January and August 2015, and police prosecutors said the complainant had no other sexual partners during that time.
Palmer is in custody at the male Casuarina Prison and it will be up to prison authorities to determine whether she should be moved to a female facility.
Palmer, who was extradited from NSW earlier this year, is due back in court on July 15.
