New Swedish law recognises sex without consent as rape

Stockholm (AFP) - A tough new law that will recognise sex without explicit consent as rape comes into effect in Sweden on Sunday, after the country was rocked by the #MeToo movement denouncing sexual harassment and assault.

The law stipulates that a person has committed rape if they have been part of a sexual act in which the other person has not participated "freely".

Rape had previously been defined as a sexual act carried out with the use of violence or threat.

Now for someone to face rape charges, "it is no longer necessary that violence or threats were applied, or that the aggressor took advantage of the victim's particularly vulnerable situation," according to the government.

Courts will need to pay particular attention to whether consent was expressed with words, gestures or in another manner, and judges will have to rule on the issue, according to the law passed in May.

Judge Anna Hannell, who helped create the law, said there was "absolutely no requirement to formally say 'yes', to hit a button in an app or anything else of the same type"

When I was dating, agreement was manifest by conduct. It didn’t need to be verbalized when I got shot down, nor when I prevailed. It wasn’t complicated. It now apparently requires mediation by a third party.

Even a contract would not be good enough, because the woman can withdraw consent at any time, and without even verbalizing that she has done so.

Meanwhile, Muslim immigrants can rape and groom young girls all they want. The laws are exclusively aimed at white males.

I wonder if the American people can say they were “raped” by the politicians in DC. What they do is primarily without our consent.

For what good it will do. Most of the rapes are committed by the “Refugees”. And they are all exempt from prosecution.
