Guy Mukendi Brixton Stealthing Rapist who covertly removed a condom during intercourse has been sentenced to over four years in prison.
A woman consented to engage in sexual intercourse with Guy Mukendi, 39, from Brixton in South London, contingent upon the use of a condom.
The act referred to as “stealthing” is categorised as rape.
Text exchanges presented to the jury at Inner London Crown Court revealed that Guy Mukendi claimed he acted out of frustration due to an extended period of sexual inactivity.
The court was informed that the victim reached out to the police in May 2023 upon realising the incident that had occurred.
Officers collected forensic evidence and text messages.
A Met Police spokesperson said the force was “dedicated to securing justice for the victim and will continue to raise awareness that this crime is a form of rape”.
“The victim did the right thing to call the police straight away and her bravery should not be overshadowed,” the said.
“Anyone who is a victim of non-consensual condom removal should report it to the police straight away to give the best chances of capturing evidential opportunities.”
According to the the Sexual Offences Act 2003, someone did not consent to sex if the other person tricked them about the “nature” of the sex, which is what exactly it was going to involve.
This is known in law as ‘”conditional consent”.
Although the Act does not specifically mention lying about putting on a condom or non-consensual condom removal, a man who carried out stealthing was convicted of rape in 2019.
This case confirmed that conditional consent applied in such cases and that it was therefore rape under English and Welsh law.
