Removing Condom During Intercourse Without Partner’s Consent is Criminal — Government
Removing condoms during sexual intercourse without the other partner’s consent has now become a punishable offence in California, United States of America.
The government declared and signed into the law of the state that, hence, people found guilty of ‘stealthing’ would be liable for general, special, and punitive damages.
The act of removing condoms during sexual intercourse without the other partner’s consent has now become a punishable offence in California, United States of America.
The word ‘stealthing’ is a slang term for the nonconsensual removal of a condom during sex.
As consented to on Thursday by California Governor Gavin Newsom, it is now a civil sexual battery offence under state law for someone to remove a condom without their romantic partner’s consent.
“For a majority of the people, it’s like, yeah, it makes sense that this is immoral and it should be illegal,” said Cristina Garcia, a State Assembly Member who reportedly sponsored the legislation.
