The issue is simple imo. A significant portion of women say that they're sexually offended in most countries' but the actual reports don't match up for various reasons. Underreporting isn't a new phenomenon. The thing, specifically, with sweden is that they have a large net for what constitutes rape as I showed with the red highlights. They also are considered to have less underreporting due to low corruption and higher gender equality, again, per the highlights. I don't think sweden would classify as rape culture.
As far as the individual case, my only issue is the length of the community service for already stated reasons.
The sentence is supposed to be just as much a preventive measure as a punitive one, so I have to disagree that community service serves the best interest here, given that the rapist is still able to rape.
That is my main objections with multiple offenders, that once you've proved that you're a danger to society, especially to minors, you should not simply be given the benefit of the doubt. I'd lay money that this predator rapes again, and the next victim is the one that suffers the real injustice.
