He did not rape anyone nor did anyone accused him of rape. He is being accused of a very specific thing which at best might be classified as sexual misconduct.

It was while he was defending Minsky and he was actually arguing that sex does not magically become rape depending on the country that you do it.
> It is rape, she said no, he forced her, it is rape.
He did not force her though. He had consent to have sex with her. It's just that they agreed to have a condom on but he apparently ripped it or something and she noticed it only afterwards.
> It was while he was defending Minsky and he was actually arguing that sex does not magically become rape depending on the country that you do it.
No, he wasn't defending Minsky, please stop saying that!
He was arguing that the definition of rape should not change based on the country you're in, or to put it in other words: if you are 16 in Italy, you can give consent to have sex, if you are 17 years and 364 days old in U.S.A., you can't.
That shouldn't change the definition of rape.
> It's just that they agreed to have a condom on but he apparently ripped it or something and she noticed it only afterwards
That's not what she says.
I was not there, did you?
I tend not to believe to a man that has at least 4 children with 4 women and he "prefers them virgins so he can be the first one to impregnate them" when it's about using condoms.

Yes, just because having consensual sex with a 17 and 364 days years old is illegal in some places and the law there calls it rape it does not make it rape in reality. Same thing applies here. Just because the Swedish law calls it rape it does not mean that it really is rape.
Wait. If someone consents to sex with a condom, then the condom is tampered with, that violates the consent.
If I, a man, agree to have sex with a woman after we both agree to use a condom, but I find out that she knowingly punctured the condom, I didn't consent to that.
Sure, and it should be illegal (especially if she knows that she has a sexually transmitted disease), but it is far from rape.
If you consent to have sex with a woman as long as she promises to not cheat on you and she breaks that promise, is that rape? I would claim that it is not.
That's false.

it's rape in Sweden.
I don't know why you split hairs on this simple fact.
