Criminalizes act of "stealthing"; removing or tampering with a condom during sexual activity without consent of one's sexual partner.

New Jersey bill A 1353 criminalizes "stealthing" by making it a third-degree crime to deliberately remove, tamper with, or use a damaged condom during sexual activity without a partner's consent. The law directly affects individuals engaging in sexual activity where consent is required, targeting actions that violate a partner's autonomy. Key provisions define the crime as occurring when someone knowingly acts without consent before or during sexual penetration involving condom tampering. Penalties include up to five years in prison or a $15,000 fine. This bill mirrors similar legislation in California (AB1033) but focuses on New Jersey's specific legal framework.
