This part atleast, as explained to me, is because rape has a much wider statistical definition. All sexual assault supposedly is classified under it, penetration not required.

- Sacho 10y agoThe last time the rape law was significantly changed, according to Wikipedia, was in 2005(legislature) and 2008(Supreme Court case). I couldn't read whether the government article cited a source for the law changes(don't know Swedish), so that's the best I have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden#Legislation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden#Legislation
