Actually from what I understand Sweden has a pretty narrow definition of rape and a whole lot of other similar crimes to make up for it. Because it appears that he's not being charged with rape now, but with this "sex by surprise" instead, which is probably a ridiculous translation of something along the lines of sexual misconduct and way below rape. With just a fine of about 700 USD if found guilty.
