10% of UK young adults do not consider "stealthing" a crime, despite 99% deeming it wrong.

Although 99% deemed it wrong, only 88% viewed it as sexual assault. Support for prison sentences varied, with 52% favoring jail if a victim became pregnant. The research highlights gender differences in perceptions and aims to inform future sexual health campaigns and legislation.
