LAURA McEVOY, 21, claims she had no idea that Doherty would place a needle in her arm and that she became "hysterical" when she realised she might have contracted AIDS.

The BABYSHAMBLES frontman was arrested and questioned by police after the controversial pictures, which depicted the self-confessed drug addict injecting himself as well as McEvoy, were published in a British newspaper in April (06).

McEvoy says, "It was supposed to be ironic, because of his reputation with drugs.

"I don't remember how it all started. We'd all been drinking for hours and we'd taken some drugs. It seemed funny to pose for pictures. But everything changed when he put the needle in my arm.

"He never told me he was going to put the syringe in my arm. I would never have agreed.

"When I realised what Pete had done I was horrified. I looked at him and said, 'Why did you do that? I hate needles.'

"He apologised and said he thought I knew what he was going to do. Later I asked if the needle was clean and he said it was - but I still had an AIDS test and a vaccination for hepatitis.

"I was very scared and very upset. I realised the implications when I had sobered up the next day and I became hysterical. I knew all of this had to stop.

"It seemed like so much fun at the time but getting involved with him was so dangerous, if not deadly. I was lucky to have escaped."
