[quote="questor"]The nordic countries have a very bad record of treatment of people who are different, and not just with mental and learning disorders. They also mistreat people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and people who try to home school their kids. I've been reading stories of such things about the nordic countries for years, but this legal abuse of non typical citizens goes way back in that region. :evil:[/quote]

According to the research, recent rulings in the Swedish Supreme Court have set a precedent that there is now a standard for supporting evidence in lower court rulings. <br /> <br />This, research, in part, may explain why the rape case for the young girl with aspergers was successfully appealed. The supporting evidence as indicated in the topic article was found to be insufficient in the appeal. The precedent for that ruling was already set by previous Supreme Court decisions. <br /> <br />The research provides evidence that part of the problem in Sweden with rape, may be associated with the way the Judicial system works there. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.thelocal.se/39886/20120326/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="postlink" >http://www.thelocal.se/39886/20120326/</a> <br /> <br /></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote">A recent master's dissertation in law found that the percentage of rape cases that are acquitted by district courts in Sweden has increased from 22 percent in 2006 to 33 percent in 2010. <br /> <br />"That a very high percentage of acquittals, the highest among all crimes in the criminal code," Katrin Lainpelto, a doctor of procedural law at Stockholm University who reviewed the dissertation author Lina Tengvar, told the TT news agency. <br /> <br />Their explanation for the dramatic increase in acquittals comes from four precedent-setting rulings by the Swedish Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) which occurred in 2005, 2009, and 2010. <br /> <br />Sweden's lower courts have interpreted these rulings to mean there is now a general standard for supporting evidence required for a conviction in rape cases, according to Lainpelto. <br /> <br />"I question whether the Supreme Court really has a mandate to go out and limit the free review of evidence. Judges may take it to mean they can no longer make their own assessments of the evidence based on their own beliefs" she said. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold">Rape convictions are already rare in Sweden.

I think Sweden is just playing games. <br /> <br />Of course, if it's not just games being played, there is the very slight possibility that he really misunderstood her. The fact that she was overly sheltered certainly doesn't help matters in determining what intent there was. So without actually being there for the trial it's difficult for any of us to really know. Either way, if no is what she expressed in her way, she was raped, but can the guy be held responsible for misinterpreting her if her signals are foreign to him. Depends on the signals she gave and whether given his experience he could be expected to understand them. <br /> <br />It thus becomes important to ensure that aspies are taught how NTs communicate so they know how to say and interpret signals as yes or no. I'm leaning toward isolation as a primary cause of this problem.
