New controversial sex law Sweden in force

In Sweden, the controversial sex law comes into force on Sunday.

The law is controversial because it is not clear what exactly applies as explicit consent. How can a judge decide afterwards that a face expression means yes or no, opponents say.

The law applies to all sexual acts, whether it is a first date, a long-term relationship or group sex. 'The message is simple: you have to ask the person with whom you want sex if he wants it. If you are not sure, you should leave it, 'said Prime Minister Stefan Löfven at the introduction of the law in 2017.
