It's not sensationalist to call lesser-degree rape... rape. It is a form of rape.

Basically he had sex with two women within a few days of each other, women he met on the same night at the same event, and a condom broke while having sex with one of them and he did not stop, and the woman did not realize it broke until they were done. Apparently he did not disclose to the two women that he had slept with the other. That qualifies as "lesser degree rape" because the women feel like they were lied to which resulted in consensual sex and the one woman felt he should have known the condom broke.
Denmark was fighting in the Napoleonic Wars and they were stretched very thin to patrol the Iceland harbors. Essentials from Danish trade ships were few and far between partly because the few that were on their way to Iceland were intercepted by the British Navy. In 1801, the British Navy had attacked Copenhagen and destroyed almost the entire navy fleet. Denmark did not officially join the Napoleonic Wars until 1807 when the British fleet left Copenhagen in ruins and captured the remaining ships in the Danish fleet. Denmark was all but bankrupt in 1813 when they could no longer take the costs of fighting in the war.
When Jörgen landed on Iceland in the early summer of 1809, he along with his ship-crew arrested the Danish appointed governor after they were unsuccessful in trading their goods. Jörgen promised that he would reinstate Icelandic self-government and that the Icelandic people should have a society such as the people in America and Europe had at this time. He even had a new flag for Iceland that showed three fish in the upper left quarter on a blue field. The entire story of Jörundur´s flag is HERE.
Two months later, at the end of the dog days of summer, the Danish government arrested Jörgen and restored Danish rule in Iceland. He was in prison for two years and afterwards continued to lead an amazingly ambitious and glorious existence until his death 20 Jan 1841.

Your exact words, which were previously quoted, disagree with what you just posted. I think you realize how ignorant you sounded and are trying to back track now.

You should lean to swim before jumping in the deep end.

Thank you for acknowledging the thread. Seems earth shaking especially if world bank's are threatened to be "toast". Not sure if there is any credibility with the poster. Makes Clinton emails look like a fairy tale book if it's credible!!

So you are suggesting that completely consensual sex can after the fact, days later in fact, be suddenly called non-consensual? Ecuador disagrees which is why they gave him amnesty.

So the answer is "no". You don't understand what you're implying at all.
Let me break it down for you.

Is the rough equivalent of saying, "It's not sensationalist to call consensual intercourse... non-consensual intercourse. It is a form of non-consensual intercourse."

No, because you think "rape allegations" in Sweden are the same as "rape allegations" in the USA when in fact they are not even close. Hence your idiotic and ignorant statement which several posters have noticed and called you on. Rather than backtrack so heavily you should just admit you were grossly mistaken about what exactly he is being charged with.

For example, Sweden reformed its sex crime legislation and made the legal definition of rape much wider in 2005,[3][4][8][12] which largely explains a significant increase in the number of reported rapes in the ten-year period of 2004-2013.[13][14]
