An Otago woman who is a survivor of stealthing says police wouldn t take her case seriously - and two years on says she s been failed by the justice system.
Katharine Cresswell Riol, who goes by Kitty, says she was sexually assaulted in 2019 when a man she was sleeping with removed a condom without her consent, known as stealthing.
Cresswell Riol s is telling her story just days after a Wellington man was sentenced to nearly four years jail in what is believed to be the first conviction for rape after he stealthed someone during sex.
