    Exaxctly. And rapists in Sweden get 2-4 years. Again politicians are bribed by the movie/music industry.

    Which is a pretty severe, many of these rapists are new immigrants unaccustomed to Swedish legal and cultural norms and most importantly sexual emergencies are a very real thing and traumatic thing for these newcomers.
