Stealthing sounds like a great way to say "The sex happened consentually, but we'll add the fishiest and most easy to claim without proof accusation we can, since the previous drummed up charge didn't stick"

Sexual assault is very hard to prove, and attitudes like yours continue to show why.
Why do you blame that user and not the US/Sweden?
Dying on that hill precisely on this case is absurd though.
There is a good chance the guy would have end up suicided. There is still a good chance he meets some questionable end. Fabricating charges of what is probably the worst crime with plausible deniability you can do is more than a possibility.
In this particular context, it's also very easy to abuse to frame someone, and attitudes like yours continue to show why.
Would you say the same for this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till
