Ser ut at Sverige - som Norge - har gjort endringer i straffeloven som delvis forklarer økte tall. 

Sitat

Vad som är en våldtäkt i juridisk mening har utvidgats flera gånger under den senaste 20-årsperioden. År 2005 utvidgades bestämmelsen till att utöver gärningar med våld och hot även omfatta utnyttjanden av någon annans hjälplösa tillstånd, till exempel att någon är kraftigt berusad eller sover. Formuleringen hjälplöst tillstånd ändrades 2014 till särskilt utsatt situation. Med det kom våldtäkt att även omfatta vissa situationer där brottsoffret på grund av allvarlig rädsla blivit passiv när hen utsatts för ett övergrepp, så kallad frozen fright.

Den 1 juli 2018 infördes den så kallade ”samtyckeslagen”. Med den sänktes kraven på tvång ytterligare och lagen ger tydligt utryck för att all sexuell samvaro ska bygga på frivillighet. Det innebär att det varken krävs våld, hot eller ett utnyttjande av någons utsatta situation för att det ska vara en våldtäkt.

 

For hver gang man senker terskelen for at handlinger er straffbare, vil man sannsynligvis oppleve at registrerte lovbrudd øker. Ikke nødvendigvis fordi realitetene har blitt verre, men fordi man begynner å telle handlinger som før ikke var ulovlige.

Den strenge bevisbyrden for at overgrep har skjedd må likevel finne sted.

[...]Claim: “There has been a major increase in the number of reported sexual offences in Sweden”

Facts: According to the Swedish Crime Survey, there has been an increase in self-reported sexual offences over the last ten years, although a downward trend can be seen from 2018 onwards.
Of the population (aged 16–84), 0.9 percent state that they were exposed to a sexual offence involving the use of force in 2022. It is important to note that sexual offences comprise a broad spectrum of offences, from minor incidents to very serious incidents such as rape.
According to Brå, the tendency to report primarily minor incidents has increased over time, whereas victimisation for serious sexual offences has remained more steady and is considerably lower than for sexual crimes in general.

The number of rape offences reported to the Police Authority has also increased over the last ten years.
This can partly be explained by changes in legislation.
As the definition of rape in Swedish law has broadened, it is difficult to compare the levels of reported crime over time. It is also difficult to make international comparisons based on crime statistics, as many acts that are considered rape under Swedish law are not considered rape in many other countries.
Furthermore, in some countries, if several offences are committed on the same occasion, only the most serious of these will be recorded. In Sweden, in principle every offence committed on a single occasion is recorded.

While Sweden, according to Eurostat’s statistics, has long had the highest number of reported rapes per capita, Brå’s study shows that if the legal conditions and statistical methods had been the same as in Germany, Sweden would rank somewhere in the middle of the statistics from Eurostat.

Moreover, willingness to report sexual offences also differs dramatically between countries.
A country in which these crimes are talked about openly, and victims are not blamed, will also have more cases reported. Sweden has made a conscious effort to encourage women to report any offence. #MeToo and other movements against sexual crimes and abuse in recent years may have further increased the willingness to report victimisation, both to the police and in surveys.
According to the above-mentioned study by Brå, women in Sweden are more exposed to rape than women in countries in southern and eastern Europe, such as Spain, Portugal, Poland and Greece, even after adjusting the statistics.
These differences may be due to more rapes actually taking place in Sweden, but may also be due to greater willingness among Swedish women to report victimisation.

In short, there is no support for the claim that Sweden deviates significantly from other countries in north-western Europe when it comes to the incidence of rape.

Selvsagt. Og det er et overgrep når loven spesifiserer at det er forbudt, uansett.

Problemet er nå man sammenlikner utvikling av antall overgrep over tid, uten å ta inn over seg at også definisjonen av overgrepet har endret seg over den samme tidsluken. Da ender man med å sammenlikne lite sammmenliknbare tall, pærer og appelsiner. Overgrep i 2004 var noe annet (og oftest det vi vil anse som grovere) enn overgrep med samme betegnelse i 2025.
