Stealthing Act Bill - A federal bill called the Stealthing Act of 2025 (H.R. 3084) would give victims of "stealthing," the non-consensual removal of a condom or other protection during sex, the right to sue their assailant for damages in civil court. Advocates describe stealthing as a form of sexual violence and a violation of consent, since agreeing to protected sex isn't consent to unprotected sex. California became the first state to allow such lawsuits in 2021. The bill was introduced in April 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee; it has not yet become law. Consent can be conditional, and revoking that condition matters. Congress.gov #ConsentMatters
