(28,581 posts)I'm not quite sure how the courts would even begin to make a judgement on this.
Only two people will ever know if the conversation about protection ever happened.
Also this "First, he's set up by a Swedish woman who forces him to sex with him while she's unconscious!" is really less then accurate in the telling. They were sleeping naked together after being intimate and he initiated sex with her before she was fully awake. He didn't come upon her unconscious body and raped her as your sentence portrays.
I think the whole thing is a mess, the line is so fine in the charges, that we will probably never know what happened.
I do think he needs to go to Sweden and answer the charges, but I also understand why he might feel he wouldn't be getting a fair trial.
