Man who secretly removed condom during sex convicted for ‘stealthing’

It is the first conviction of its kind

Khaldoun F., who has not been fully named, was handed a suspended jail sentence by a judge in the Netherlands, but was cleared of rape.

He pleaded guilty to coercion at Rotterdam court after removing his condom, despite the woman he was with saying in advance that she did not want to have sex without it.

The court warned the Khaldoun had "exposed her to contracting sexually transmitted diseases and an unwanted pregnancy".

He was sentenced to a three-month suspended prison sentence and a 1,000 euro (£883) fine.

Last year, in a separate case, a woman was convicted of stealthing after she poked holes in her partner’s condoms so she could get pregnant.

The unnamed 39-year-old woman in Germany made “legal history” after she was reportedly convicted of sexual assault for tampering with the contraceptive belonging to her 42-year-old “friend with benefits.”

The pair were engaged in a casual relationship and had been meeting since the start of 2021.

In Bielefeld, North-East Germany, the regional court heard how the woman developed feelings for the man but they were not reciprocated.

The woman ultimately failed in getting pregnant, despite sending WhatsApp messages to her partner that suggested otherwise and admitting to damaging the condoms.

The man then responded by filing criminal charges – and according to local outlet Deutsche Welle – the woman later admitted to manipulating her partner.
