The Rise of Stealthing: A Secret Sex Crime

A man in the Netherlands has been convicted of removing a condom during sex without his partner's consent, marking the first trial in the country for "stealthing." The man was given a three-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay the victim $1,000 euros for damages. The sex was consensual, and the man was acquitted of rape charges. Stealthing, which occurs when someone removes a condom during intercourse without the consent of a sexual partner, is considered abusive and can be prosecuted as sexual assault in some countries.
