Germany: Woman sentenced to 6 months in jail for poking holes in partner's condoms
Germany: Woman sentenced for poking holes in partner's condoms
In what the judge described as a "historic" case, a woman has been found guilty of sexual assault after poking holes in her partner's condoms without his knowledge or consent.
The case concerned a 39-year-old woman who was in a "friends with benefits" relationship with a 42-year-old man. The two met online at the beginning of 2021 and began a casual, sexual relationship.
-----------------
The 39-year-old woman then secretly poked holes in the package of condoms that her partner kept in his nightstand. She had hoped to get pregnant, but her efforts were reportedly unsuccessful.
Despite this, she later wrote the 42-year-old man a message on WhatsApp, saying that she believed she was pregnant and told him that she'd purposefully damaged the condoms.
The man then pressed criminal charges against her and the woman later admitted to attempting to manipulate her partner.
------------
Stealthing" typically occurs when a man secretly removes his condom during sexual intercourse, unbeknownst to his partner.
"This provision also applies in the reverse case. The condoms were rendered unusable without the man's knowledge or his consent," Salewski said in her decision.
