Swedish PM wants tougher sentences for those who buy sex from prostitutes

[Kurska]

7. Psstt, buddy

I'm talking about the other law

"Currently, people buying sex can be fined or jailed for up to a year, but Mr Reinfeldt said no one has been sentenced to prison in 4,782 cases so far. "

Again I mentioned prison, but I'm not sure what the distinction over there is. A year sounds like hard enough time to me to be considered prison.

"you're arguing for the right for men to rape kids and trafficking victims so long as they pay upfront. "

No... I'm not.


I don't think having legitimate concerns about how a law would actually be implemented (in regard to someone "knowing" it is a trafficking victim) means I don't support the law in principle, but that might be a distinction a bit to fine to throw into a strawman.

The funny thing is they don't even enforce their dumb law, less than 100 charged out of around 1500 cases in 2006 and their supreme court barred anyone from actually being thrown in jail using the optional jail term. So the thing you're defending barely even exists. Of course some sexual fascists in parliament over there want to make it a mandatory minimum of 1 year now instead, because their societal control isn't working. People aren't being thrown in prison because of the sexual activities of consenting adults, we must purify our society!
