According to the interview with one of the victims, it was a consensual situation that got out of hand (in two separate cases). That description is perfectly consistent with the behavior of the prosecutors here; under Swedish law, depending on the exact details, such behaviour might be interpreted as rape, molestation, or just someone being an asshat. After digging into the details, the prosecutors seem to have gone from the rape end of the scale to the asshat end, and that's not a valid cause for arrest.

In the case of the former, flaunting rape allegations only to withdraw them makes people susceptible to taking the insidious "asshat" argument at face value without wondering too much because it seems that everyone is acting responsibly and rationally in contrast to earlier. In the latter, having filed charges whether successful or not (and with the same "asshat" implication) legitimises selling the story to gossip magazines. In both cases, there is some tarnish to the reputation unless completely debunked. Or of course the allegations are true.
