Not blaming the victim here, just pointing out that contrary to the automatic American assumption that "sex crimes=necrophiliac pedophile cannibal", the charges involved appear to be so minor that issuing an Interpol warrant for them is equivalent to an international manhunt for a shoplifter. I won't pretend to understand the statutes involved, but everything I've read where the writer has actually looked at what's going on in the Swedish legal side has said more or less the same thing -- this isn't rape and the characterization of the charges as rape in American and other news media is an exaggeration.
