What law, exactly?

Failing to surrender to court (ie breaching terms of bail).
This is to avoid facing the allegations in Sweden.
Feigning ignorance of the obvious doesn't help anyone

failing to surrender to the court.
Bit like how in the US resisting arrest is a crime itself even if there was no legal grounds for the attempted arrest.

I will refer you to reading TFA. Also: rape.
[dead]
There's no requirement for a rape to be violent.
Sex with a toddler is rape. Sex with a passed-out person you run across is rape. Sex with a blindfolded person who's into bondage but expecting someone else is rape.
If someone says they're only willing to have sex with a condom, and you secretly remove that condom, you're having non-consensual sex, i.e. rape.

The rape charges were dropped and incredibly suspicious as well.
