Context – New California Bill trying to add Stealthing in sexual battery

Concept –

California State Legislature has passed a bill that makes stealthing — the act of removing a condom during intercourse without consent — a crime.
If passed, California would be the first state to criminalise the act of stealthing.
Stealthing is an act of removing a condom during intercourse without a partner’s knowledge or consent. It is considered a form of condom use resistance.
Stealthing has been widely criticised for the possibility of contracting sexually transmissible diseases and pregnancy that can occur due to this non-consensual practice of condom removal.
