STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Consenting to sex is not the same as consenting to unprotected sex, with new legislation seeking to safeguard those who agreed to protected intercourse only to be unknowingly stripped of their bodily autonomy.
A bill sponsored by State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton to protect New Yorkers from sexual “stealthing” recently passed in the State Senate, bringing it one step closer to becoming law.
“My legislation to combat stealthing acknowledges the serious emotional, financial and physical harm that victims of nonconsensual condom removal endure. Here in New York, it is so important we emphasize the importance of consent and the right to consent only with the use of contraception,” said Scarcella-Spanton, a Democrat who represents the North Shore of Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn.
