I don’t usually cover the European scene, which Richard does, but this one overlaps. Sweden has moved to bring in new rape laws, which eliminate the need to prove intent:

“Sweden's government is to push ahead with a new sexual consent law despite questions over whether it is necessary. From July 1st having sex with someone without their explicit consent in Sweden will be illegal (the law will treat consent as possible either through words or clear actions), with the hope being that more rape and sexual assault cases will be prosecuted as a result. "If it's not voluntary, then yes, that's an assault. I think it's important to reach that clarity in legislation," Justice Minister Morgan Johansson said. Sweden's Council on Legislation looked at the government's proposal and questioned whether it was even needed, as much is already covered in existing laws. But Johansson does not agree and thinks the new law will lead to more convictions. "I think the number of crimes solved will increase. Above all through the combination of stronger and broader legislation together with increased support for the victims."
The bill, handed to the Riksdag on Tuesday, will also include a broadening of acts considered criminal in the area. There will no longer be a need to prove intent in rape for example, while the punishment for serious rape will be increased.”
This has nothing to do with the explosion of migrant-based rapes in this land, and everything to do with feminism and political correctness. Here are some articles in proof of what is really going on in a country that just wants to die, but only after its women have been raped.
