Lisa A. Mutter, 41, of Pulaski, Pa., has been indicted a second time for felonious assault after a second person reported that she had sex with him without notifying him she was HIV positive.

Mutter, who is still awaiting trial on felonious assault in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court on an accusation of not notifying a sex partner of her HIV status, is now indicted in Trumbull County.

Her newest case began when a Hubbard man told police in January he learned by reading the news that Mutter had been indicted in Columbiana County.

The man, 50, told police Mutter lived in his house between Nov. 6, 2015, and Feb. 8, 2016. During that time, she had unprotected sex with him between two and 19 times, he said. The man reported that he did not know if he had been harmed by her actions.

Being HIV positive means a person has tested positive as a carrier of a virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, according to Mutter’s indictment.
