A successful German pop star and mother of one has been arrested for allegedly infecting her ex-lover with HIV.
Police arrested Nadja Benaissa, who has sold more than five million albums, just before she was due to perform in a concert in Frankfurt on Saturday.
The 26-year-old was charged with grievous bodily harm after one of three men with whom she had unprotected sex in 2004 and 2006 became HIV positive. If convicted she could face up to 10 years in prison.
Police allege the man contracted the disease as a result of his sexual involvement with Benaissa, media reports say.
Britain's Daily Telegraph said the singer did not tell the men she was HIV positive and did not use protection.
A judge remanded Benaissa in custody after her arrest because there was a danger she might repeat her offence, the Times Online reported.
She was discovered on the first German series of the Popstars talent show, according to her Facebook site.
