Men face up to 4 years in prison for removing a condom during sex

39 year old man, Guy Mukendi, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison for allegedly removing a condom while having sex with a woman.

According to the UK Guardian, Mukendi, from Brixton, was sentenced on Thursday at Inner London Crown Court for the ‘rape’ of the woman last year in a rare conviction for ‘concealment’, by removing a condom during sex without consent.

The tabloid reported that the woman agreed to have sex with Mukendi on the condition of using a condom, but Mukendi removed it without her consent, giving the woman grounds to sue him for rape and concealment.

The newspaper also stated that removing a condom without consent is classified as rape under separate laws in force in the UK.

“Metropolitan police officers worked with the victim on a high-profile case to obtain screenshots of messages from Mukendi apologizing for removing the condom, explaining that it was because he had not had sex for a long time. He later deleted the messages.

“Officers also collected forensic evidence with the help of the victim. The evidence helped secure the conviction of Mukendi, who was found guilty by a jury on April 2.

DC Jack Earl, who is leading the investigation, said:

“Throughout this investigation, Mukendi denied any wrongdoing, but our officers built a strong case against him to leave no doubt in the minds of the jury.

“We are dedicated to ensuring justice for victims and will continue to raise awareness that this crime is a form of rape.

“The victim took the right action by immediately calling the police and her bravery should not be overshadowed. If you have been a victim of sexual violence and have not reported it, please contact your local police service and we will do all we can to help and bring you justice.”
