Stealthing Attorneys – Nassau County, NY

At Leeds Brown Law, P.C., we are committed to protecting the rights of individuals whose consent has been violated. A new law in New York now recognizes “stealthing”—the non-consensual removal or tampering with a protective device during a sexual encounter—as a civil rights violation. Our attorneys are here to provide guidance, support, and aggressive representation for survivors seeking justice under this important new legislation.

Understanding the Stealthing Law

In 2025, the New York State Senate passed SB4322, a bill that creates a private right of action for individuals harmed by stealthing. The law makes it clear that:

• Stealthing occurs when a protective device (such as a condom, cervical cap, or spermicidal product) is removed or damaged without a partner’s consent during an otherwise consensual encounter.

• It also covers situations where one partner intentionally deceives the other into believing protective devices are being used when they are not.

• Victims now have the right to file civil lawsuits to seek both compensatory and punitive damages.

This law recognizes stealthing as a violation of trust, bodily autonomy, and consent, even when the underlying sexual encounter was consensual.
