If I remember correctly, having read about this case last year, the 2 Swedish women in question both had consensual sex with him using condoms.
Woman 1 was unaware of woman 2 & during the time with woman 2, after they'd done it with a condom, they afterwards had sex without a condom, possibly in a 'sleepy early morning' scenario which is where the accusation of rape arises. As I recall she was half asleep & didn't realise he wasn't wearing one.
Neither of the women wanted to press charges. Woman 1 I think was entirely consensual so no offense whatsoever. It was a female Swedish prosecutor who decided to press charges.
So whilst his behaviour can certainly be deplored & 'typical male putting it about', if these details are correct I don't think it can be called rape.
Why the Swedish prosecutor wouldn't come here to interview him I don't know but it's ended up costing us millions in police guards. There's no doubt the US would like to get hold of him if they could & no guarantee the Swedish wouldn't deport him if he went there. Under these circumstances I can well understand his reluctance to go.
