It definitely paints a picture of him being a dirtbag but I don't know if this would even be illegal in the U.S. or what people would conventionally describe as rape.

- saalweachter 8y agoIf only there were some system of international law by which a country could decide if they found the other country's laws to be compatible with their own, both in the definition of crimes and their punishments, and could then decide whether they wanted to comply with an individual extradition request on a case by case basis. It's such a shame that any country in the world can issue an extradition request to any other country in the world for any reason, and that other country has no choice but to immediately comply with it.

Both are awful and he should face penalties for his actions but the victims claimed he committed one form of sexual assault and not the other. Also I don't think non-consensual condom removal is illegal in the U.S. though it definitely should be.
