‘Condom sneaks = rapists’

-

Two members of Congress — including Rep. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan — have asked the House Judiciary Committee to classify the act of secretly removing a condom during sex as a form of rape.

But they didn’t explain how alleged victims would be able to prove that the condom removal wasn’t accidental — or that it didn’t simply break.

The disturbing trend, known as “stealthing,” was brought to na- tional attention in May by lawyer Alexandra Brodsky, who urged that the practice be labeled a crime so victims could seek justice.

Stealthing has been spurred by online communitie­s instructin­g men how to secretly take off their condoms during sex without their partner suspecting.

“I am horrified that we even need to be having this conversati­on,” Maloney said.
