Thailand is to deport a one-legged German accused of trying to infect nearly 100 Thai teenage girls with HIV through unprotected sex, his lawyer said on Friday.

Deliberate transmission of the Aids virus is a crime in many Western countries and most US states. A Texan who knew he was HIV positive was sentenced to life in prison in 2003 for sexually assaulting a boy, 11.
