Dutch court sentences man for 'stealthing'; understand what it means

When the victim discovers that they have had unprotected sexual intercourse, they should seek medical attention immediately, as medications to prevent sexually transmitted infections only work up to 72 hours after sexual intercourse.

Stealthing is violence. In Brazil, there is no specific law to penalize the practice, but the act falls within the crime of “sexual violation through fraud”. The penalty is two to six years in prison. If the victim catches an illness or becomes pregnant, the sentence is increased.

In several countries, the stealth is prohibited, such as England, Wales, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Singapore and Australia.

A Yale study pointed out that the act of stealthing does not rise to the level of rape, but sexual violence researchers believe that stealthing is and should be considered rape, as it deals with issues of sex and consent.

In 2017, a court in Switzerland convicted a man of rape. He removed the condom without his partner's consent. The court concluded that the victim would have refused sex if he had known that the condom would not be used.
