More Sources.
While researching this news story I noticed that it was removed twice from Reddit by the mods with no clear reasons, so I added here some extra sources to make sure everything here is accurate.
I am not sure if the news story is being censored or if there is other reasons.
If you find any local articles or coverage that can add more context, please drop them in the comments and I will add them to the post.
It’s interesting you act like you read the article, but it clearly states the definition of rape under Swiss law and the criteria that made this judgement fall under that label.
The article is editorializing the definition too.
The judgement was clearly stated as sexual assault and not rape.
Many countries now have a much stricter definition of WHEN it is rape than the traditional old definition, in many places you don’t have to say no for it to be rape or sexual assault, you actually have to give permission otherwise it’s assault/rape.
It’s not the definition WHAT is rape that has changed it’s WHEN is it rape.
AFAIK rape still requires penetration in ALL English speaking countries, and English is the language of the headline and article.
