What if the guy is innocent, and 'found guilty'? We are all working on assumptions, and none of us really know nothing, besides the fact that this guy is a pain for the US government. I do find interesting your sense of justice. In this kind of situations I don't give these people the benefit of the doubt, thats why I think it was prudent that this guy hasn't turn himself until today. |
Well, rape cases have less then a 10% conviction rate... and only a 2% false convcition rate. Though it does happen occasionally, someone being convicted and falsey accused of rape is about as statistically unlikely a situation as you can get.
Honestly, the few cases where people have falsely been accused of rape, it's pretty much always been due to racism(white woman, non-white man) or the person already having a previous rape charge on him, and he didn't comit that particular rape.
As such, I really don't think I'd have anything to fear. Besides, the maximium sentence for rape in Sweden is 6 years... and if he was really just accused of "not using a condom" it'd be 6 months in jail or a small fine.
EDIT: As it turns out, less the conviction rate in Sweden is actually 8%. Even lower then the US. That's 8% of rape cases that go to trial.
