State v. Keene

CADY, Justice.

This appeal requires us to determine whether our criminal transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) statute, Iowa Code section 709C.1(1) (1999), 1 is unconstitutionally vague as applied to the facts of this case. Additionally, we must determine whether a factual basis existed to support a plea of guilty to the charge of criminal transmission of the HIV. We conclude the statute is not unconstitutionally vague and that a factual basis supported the plea of guilty. We affirm the judgment and sentence of the district court.
