Finland is officially Pedos country

I suspect a Russian operative put that meme together since Finland and Russia have a long history. The Russians won land from Finland during the Winter War and then Finland tried to win it back during WWII by allying with the Nazis. Finland had to pay reparations after WW2 to the Soviet Union. The reparations might have been justified due to Finland allying with the Nazis but they were really trying to get their land back.

I read the article and I tried to explain the difference in my post above. The rape sentence is 2-10 years while the aggravated sexual assault charge is 1-10 years. The perp was still sentenced to three years. I posted some additional text below. Please change your headline to show that the meme has been debunked.


Finland’s Supreme Court ruled that a man who was found to have had sexual intercourse with a 10-year-old child was rightfully charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a child (here), which carries a sentence of 1-10 years imprisonment, rather than aggravated rape, which carries a sentence of 2-10 years (p. 92 & p. 94 here).

The charge of aggravated sexual abuse of a child applies when “the victim is a child whose age or stage of development is such that the offence is conducive to causing special injury to him or her”. (p. 93-4 here)

At the time, the charge of aggravated rape applied only in cases where the assault was carried out “by the use or threat of violence” (p.92 here ). The Supreme Court had to decide whether it was established “that the sexual intercourse had been committed with violence or that the child had been in a state of fear or other helplessness.” (here) 

Although the court found that no evidence had been presented to prove the child was in a state of fear or helplessness, some legal scholars argued at the time that this should have been taken as a given, considering the child’s age (here). 

The offender’s prison sentence of three years imprisonment for aggravated sexual abuse of a child was upheld.
