Latest news from Sweden: The penalty for buying sex has been doubled, to 1 year of prison.

The penalty for rape is still 6 months.

I do not think that people in general will start raping instead of buying, but it is still weird, isn't? As in out of proportion??

So the perpetrator of an illegal business practice gets 12 months while the perpetrator of a heinous assault gets 6? Sounds like they really do hate small business!

It is the punter that buys sex that gets one year, not the woman/man plying their trade...or have i missread the OP.
It still begs belief though as what other kind of twisted priorities are there in Europe?

Now I'm confused. So, the guy paying for sex gets sent to prison, right? So who gets sentenced in the rape, the rapist or his victim?
