Man In Jail For R@pe For Removing Condom Midway Through S*x

A man has been sentenced for more than four years for rape after removing his condom during intercourse.

Guy Mukendi, 39, of Brixton, removed the condom without the woman’s knowledge, despite her only agreeing to s*x provided he used protection.

Under English law, non-consensual condom removal is known as ‘stealthing’ and is considered rape.

On May 9, 2023, the young woman reported a sexual assault to the Met, claiming she had agreed to s*x with Mukendi on the condition that a condom be used.

Officers obtained text conversations in which he apologised for removing his condom and claimed he did so because he hadn’t had s*x in a long time.

The woman captured screenshots of the messages before Mukendi deleted them.

He denied rape, but Inner London Crown Court found him guilty and sentenced him to four years and three months in prison.

Detective Constable Jack Earl, who led the investigation, said: “Throughout this investigation Mukendi denied any wrongdoing – but our officers built a compelling case against him to leave no doubt in the jury’s mind.

“We were 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.

“If you have been a victim of sexual violence and not yet reported it – please contact your local police service and we will do all that we can to help and bring you justice.

Kate Holmes, Head of Sexual Violence Helplines at Survivors Gateway, said, “Survivors of sexual violence in London can contact the Survivor’s Gateway on 0808 801 0860 to be connected with support.

“Our Navigators provide a confidential, non-judgmental space, and can make referrals for counselling as well as practical advocacy support.”
