Swedish Law has some unusual aspects. To avoid cluttering other threads, I added this.

What is rape?

Rape is one of the most serious sexual crimes

Anyone who carries out sexual intercourse or another comparable sexual act with a person who does not participate voluntarily is convicted of rape. The penalty is imprisonment for a minimum of three years and a maximum of six years.

This has resulted in people convicted for rape over Internet.

Julian Assange is a famous person who was not aware of Swedish rape laws.

What is defamation?
Defamation means pointing out someone as a criminal, reprehensible in their way of life or in some other way providing information that is apt to subject them to the disrespect of others. It doesn't really matter if the information is true or not. Emphasis is added if the task is likely to expose others to disrespect.
