DENVER -- She might be considered a walking threat to public safety.
Prosecutors have filed charges against a 45-year-old Denver woman accused of selling sex while knowing she has AIDS.
Frances Woodke is charged with two misdemeanors, prostitution and solicitation for prostitution, and a felony count of prostitution with knowledge of AIDS.
According to the Denver District Attorney’s Office, Woodke, who has known for years that she is infected with HIV, was soliciting prostitution on Jan. 26 in the 1400 block of North Elizabeth Street.
Denver Police arrested Woodke after she offered to have intercourse with an undercover officer for $23.
The DA's office says it's possible she prostituted herself before she got caught last week
Woodke has pleaded guilty twice before to attempted prostitution with knowledge of AIDS - spending time in prison for the charges in 2000 and again in 2008, according to the DA's office.
