Bill overview
The Stealthing Act of 2024 seeks to establish a legal pathway for victims to sue individuals who remove a condom during sexual activity without consent – a practice known as ‘stealthing.’ The bill recognizes stealthing as a form of sexual violence with potential physical risks and aims to provide victims with a means to seek compensation and legal remedies. It expands upon California’s existing law by creating a federal civil action for those affected.
