A 39-year-old man named Guy Mukendi, has been jailed for more than four years in the United Kingdom (UK) for removing his condom while having sex with a woman who only consented to sex with him if he wore condom.
He was jailed for rape simply for removing his condom midway through the sexual bout.
Non-consensual condom removal under English law is referred to as ‘Stealthing’ and is usually considered as rape.
Guy Mukendi’s sex partner who is reportedly a young woman is said to have lodged a complaint with the Metropolitan police on May 9, 2023, alleging at the time that she had consented to sex with him on condition that he used a condom.
During investigation, officers reportedly obtained text messages in which he apologized to the lady for taking off his condom. He claimed he took off the condom he had not had sex for a long time.
Although he denied rape, he was convicted and sentenced on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at Inner London Crown Court to four years, three months in prison.
According to Detective Constable Jack Earl who led the investigation, “Throughout this investigation Mukendi denied any wrongdoing but our officers built compelling case against him to leave no doubt in the jury’s mind.”
He said: “We were dedicated to securing justice for the victim and will continue to raise awareness that this crime is a form of rape.”
He added that “The victim did the right thing to call the police straight away and her bravery should not be overshadowed.”
He urged “If you have been a victim of sexual violence and not yet reported it – please contact your local police service and we will do all that we can to help and bring you justice.”
