Edmonton police released the name of a man Wednesday accused of aggravated sexual assault for failing to disclose his HIV status to a partner.

Police say the move was needed to identify others who may have contracted HIV from the individual, who they said works in the sex trade. But a local group that works with people with HIV criticized the decision, saying that information could be found through the health care system.

A news release Wednesday said that 28-year-old Anthony Lee Taylor has been charged with aggravated sexual assault. Police said a 57-year-old man came to them in May to report he had contracted HIV after having consensual sex with the accused on two occasions in late 2016.
