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.
Wellington District Crime Squad manager detective senior sergeant Haley Ryan told the
NZ Herald last week it was the country s first known conviction for this type of offending. The defence argued there was no premeditation and a cultural report on the man, who is from the Philippines, was directly relevant to the sentencing. Campos has been in the country since 2016. Judge Harrop disagreed, stating there was an element of premeditation to the case as he was told multiple times a condom was necessary and that sex workers were no less victims than any other survivor. I can t proceed on the basis that raping sex workers is any more acceptable (in the Philippines) than it is here, he said.
