It sounds legitimate.. Isn't there a way for the female body to shut this down?

It was a matter of there being no evidence. No evidence of a struggle or anything. If they ruled otherwise, any girl could just claim they were raped and send guys to jail just on their word. How is that justice?

Meh.

Without forensic evidence I have to side with the court on this one. They prosecution did not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was guilty.

I guess. Though I really hate rapists so I still think this is wrong.

Misleading title is misleading. The journalists who wrote this article were editorializing and trying to make a sensationalist post.

As there was no forensic evidence in the case, it became of matter of one's word against the other's.

While the court explained that it found the woman's version of events credible, the man was ultimately freed because it "hadn't been shown beyond a reasonable doubt" that the man had forced the woman to have sex with him.



Good for Sweden.

This. There was really nothing they could do.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

This. When did we start making court cases based on nothing but one's word against another?

Sex is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location into a girl's destination to increase population for the next generation. Do you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?

The first comment:

Once you get past the provocative and misleading headline interpretation of the prosecutor's rationale, this matter was decided on the evidence. She said one thing, he said another; and there wasn't a scrap of evidence proving who told the truth and who didn't, or what was understood or misunderstood by the couple.

Most first-world countries agree, this type of "he said, she said" cases are not enough to prove -blam!- beyond the necessary reasonable doubt. There are some in Sweden who want to reverse the burden of proof so that the rapist must prove the victim consented, rather than the victim having to prove that he/she didn't. One presumes that involves filling in a legal document before the act. How romantic!


There you go.

Vae Victis!

Just some sensationalist "journalism", the courts were in the right with this case.
