From what I can find out, this law is only used on "white" men. The mus slams are free to do as they please.
Men are asked to avoid sex - can be sentenced for rape

DOMESTIC. With the feminist so-called consent law, men who have sex can be convicted of rape if the woman regrets it afterwards. Now young men are urged to avoid having sexual relations when they have drunk alcohol.

- Avoid one-night stands if you are drunk as a man, says lawyer Kristina Bandrup in the SVT program "Sverige möts".
The Consent Act of 2018 means that men will be convicted of "negligent rape" if they have sex with a woman who afterwards claims that she did not voluntarily participate in any of the "phases" of the sexual act. So-called reverse burden of proof applies.
- If you are suspected of rape, you have a burden of explanation as a man and you must be able to fulfill it, says Kristina Bandrup.
- It is quite unfair, because verbally weak men are judged, in my opinion, she continues.
Rather than providing a more equal legal process, the man has had an increased burden of explanation with the law, according to Kristina Bandrup.
- There are many examples where you change moments in the sex act and you think you have consent, but then it becomes a report, she says.
The legislation was pushed through by a completely unanimous Riksdag in 2018, despite the fact that the Bar Association rejected the new bill in a referral and warned of precisely the consequences that Kristina Bandrup now believes have become the case. In addition, the community criticized that the government did not even define what a "new element" is in its new law.
"This legal uncertainty means that a person can risk a long-term prison sentence because he or she has not understood that there has been a transition to a new phase," wrote the then president of the Bar Association, Anne Ramberg, in the referral response.
However, the S-government at the time did not listen to the criticism, and even Sweden's newly appointed gender equality minister Paulina Brandberg (L) defends the radical legislation.
- I think it is very important that a woman should not have to physically resist in order for it to become a rape. It should not be a presumption that women's bodies are available if there is no physical resistance, says the minister in the program.
