Consequently, one searches the StGB (German Criminal Code) and other statute books in vain for an offense that explicitly criminalizes stealthing.

The fact is, however, that such actions have already reached the stage of indictment on several occasions. Most recently, even the <\/span><b>Federal Court of Justice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (BGH) commented on stealthing.

As a verb, it refers to doing something cunningly or secretly. In German usage, this refers specifically to that secret act of stripping off or omitting a condom.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crucial for potential criminal liability in stealthing is that the unknowing sexual partner has <\/span><b>explicitly expressed the wish for protected sex<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (&#8220;safer sex&#8221;) and this wish is deliberately disregarded. The sexual partner must therefore be <\/span><b>specifically deceived<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even though they explicitly placed importance on the fact that it is protected sexual intercourse. Indifference regarding the use of a condom therefore generally rules out stealthing.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a &#8220;perpetrator,&#8221; usually only a <\/span><b>man<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who is supposed to use a condom is considered. However, the use of a female condom is also conceivable. Thus, the unknowing sexual partners can be both <\/span><b>men and women<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Stealthing can also occur during anal intercourse. This is also supported by the fact that the alleged reprehensibility arises not only regarding a possible unwanted <\/span><b>pregnancy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which would be prevented by the use of a condom, but also or especially regarding the risk of infection with <\/span><b>sexually transmitted diseases,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which would also be prevented by the use of a condom.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>To what extent is stealthing punishable in Germany?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no independent criminal offense for stealthing in the law. Rather, criminal liability for omitting a condom is a new development through case law. And the <\/span><b>BGH<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also affirms <\/span><b>criminal liability for stealthing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if certain requirements are met.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>sexual assault<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/stgb\/__177.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Section 177 (1) StGB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) may occur if the other sexual partner consented to sexual intercourse <\/span><b>only if a condom was used<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It must therefore be <\/span><b>recognizable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to him or her that practicing safer sex is essential. In such a case, omitting or removing the condom would then go against the person&#8217;s recognizable will and thus constitute sexual assault. Indifference regarding the use of a condom is not sufficient to establish criminal liability.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is irrelevant <\/span><b>when the will is expressed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or whether, for example, unprotected acts were performed beforehand, such as oral sex. Even in the midst of sexual acts, the will that a condom should be used can still be explicitly expressed. From the <\/span><b>moment<\/b> <b>the<\/b> <b>will is expressed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, further sexual intercourse is then only consensual on the condition that a condom is used, and stealthing may be punishable under certain circumstances.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a sexually transmitted disease is transmitted through stealthing, a conviction for (negligent) <\/span><b>bodily harm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may also be considered.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stealthing: Sexual Assault or Rape? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, in certain cases, the BGH also affirms criminal liability for <\/span><b>rape<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Section 177 (6) StGB). Rape generally occurs when sexual assault involves <\/span><b>penetration into the body<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the other person. However, there has not yet been a specific decision by the BGH on this.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that, in principle, not only a conviction for <\/span><b>sexual assault<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is possible, which carries a <\/span><b>prison sentence of at least 6 months and up to 5 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but also a conviction for <\/span><b>rape, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which carries a <\/span><b>prison sentence of not less than 2 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If damage to health occurs through a sexually transmitted disease of the unknowing person, <\/span><b>dangerous bodily harm<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may additionally be considered (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/stgb\/__224.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Section 224 (1) No. 1 StGB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This carries a <\/span><b>prison sentence of 6 months and up to 10 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A civil law claim by the injured party for <\/span><b>pain and suffering<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also not excluded. In the past, for example, an injured party was able to win a <\/span><b>four-figure sum<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; even without bodily harm having occurred.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accused persons should therefore be aware that such an allegation can have significant consequences. In addition to the criminal and civil law consequences of an investigation, there is also the <\/span><b>reputational damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they may suffer. In case of doubt, this can have an even harsher impact than a conviction.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Accused of stealthing? What you should do now <\/strong>  <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accused persons should always take an allegation of stealthing seriously. Be aware that it is a <\/span><b>criminal offense<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that can be prosecuted with the full force of the law. Especially because a conviction for rape can also be a threat, you should <\/span><b>not take the allegation lightly.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2> <\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore: <\/span><b>Do not make a statement to the police<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
