How would she be paid off? A Sweden Democratic politician is under investigation in Sweden for sexual assault right now. The woman didn't file charges. In fact, she insists this has been put to rest between the person assaulting her and herself. I'm not a legal expert. But it seems that the law in Europe (I'm generalizing) is indifferent to whether the victim presses charges or not. Crime doesn't stop being a crime because of what happens after the event of the crime. It's one of the things that make the American right call Europe socialist. Everything (more or less) is about money in the USA. A company sells a product that kills a bunch of people. A monetary settlement takes care of that. The crime is paid off. Not as easy in Europe.
This is why I oppose the transatlantic trade agreement. One of the provisions is that corporations can sue states/nations if their laws gets in the way of a corporation to make money. I don't know how far this could go, but GM, for example, could sue a country for deciding to ban all cars that aren't run on electricity. The country could still enact the law, but they will have to compensate GM for their lost sales. I think Europe will go there eventually, and basically become a playground for American companies. After all, the USA devastated Iraq for oil and wants to do the same with Venezuela. Nobody stands in the way of the USA and its money. And, sadly, I think there are enough Europeans willing to sell out Europe for that American greenback. Iraq has already proven that there are.
