Yes, ugh I hate that. I don't doubt her story, but I don't really
know her story either. Reports have varied wildly from this being a clear case of her withdrawing consent for sex after finding out he wasn't using a condom and him continuing which is clear rape, to allegations that the Swedish law is any sex without a condom is rape which is afaik false, to reports that one or both women really just wanted him to be forced to consent to STD testing and not to bring rape charges.
In addition the way the prosecutors have handled the case, not interviewing him when they could, charging, dropping, recharging (or threatening to charge, dropping it and picking it up) and so on has made me rather cynical about the whole thing.

I still prefer to imagine people sending Soviet spies chicken noodle soup and tucking them into bed...
