California makes it illegal to remove condom without consent

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California became the first state to prohibit “stealthing,” or removing a condom without permission during intercourse, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law Thursday.

The new measure amends the state’s civil code, adding the act to the state’s civil definition of sexual battery. That makes it clear that victims can sue perpetrators for damages, including punitive damages.

It makes it illegal to remove condoms without obtaining verbal consent.

Democratic Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia originally tried to make it a crime in 2017 after a Yale University study that year said acts of stealthing were increasing against both women and gay men.

Legislative analysts said then that it could already be considered misdemeanor sexual battery, though it is rarely prosecuted given the difficulty in proving that a perpetrator acted intentionally instead of accidently.

The Erotic Service Providers Legal Educational Research Project supported the bill, saying it could allow sex workers to sue clients who remove condoms.

Years ago, I recall democrats being a party that insisted government stay out of the bedrooms.

Because they felt it was interfering with their deviant lifestyles and abortion.

Will it be “he said, she said”? Or do there have to be witnesses?

They erect all these laws and rubber stamp them as if they are a prophylactic against abuses. Good grief.

I could add more juvenile puns about how I did not visually perceive that approaching, but I'll refrain.
