(62,325 posts)in an early interview one of the women made that very clear. He answered questions while in Sweden and waited to talk to police after the first reports appeared in a rightwing rag, falsely claiming the women had accused him of rape, which they have NOT done, not even close. After the Prosecutor reviewed the allegations in the right wing rag she dismissed even any misdemeanor charges and he was free to leave. But he has always been available to answer questions.
Why have the Swedish government refused to supply those questions? Clearly there is no case for rape, the only question the women had was if, since there was a broken condom, a man could be compelled to submit testing for contagious deseases. It was a question, and it was against the law for those questions to be revealed, yet they were and distorted within a very short time after the women visited the police with the question. Someone was connected to the far rightwing rag that illegally published the initial story.
So what questions do they have at this point? There are no allegations of rape, and it's been two years, if they wanted a test, why did they not ask?
As everyone who has followed this case knows, the smears and misinformation are deliberate. Even here on DU although the case was followed here from the start, people still think he was accused and charged with rape. Rovian smear tactics work, sadly.
