     7  without consent removes or tampers with such sexually protective  device
     8  during  sexual  intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct,
     9  in a manner likely to render such  device  ineffective  for  its  common
    10  purpose;  (ii) intentionally and without consent uses a sexually protec-
    11  tive device during sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexu-
    12  al conduct that he or she knows has been tampered with in a manner like-

    14  intentionally  misleads  the other person into believing that a sexually
    15  protective device was being used during sexual intercourse, oral  sexual
    16  conduct  or anal sexual conduct, and such sexually protective device was
    17  known by such other person to be either not used or inoperable.
