Oh, I have no doubt that the rape charges would quickly disappear if he weren't wanted by a bunch of different countries for things that aren't actually illegal in most of them. Really, though, that's part of the problem; rape isn't important enough to prosecute on its own, apparently. Adding the voice of a prominent feminist saying that no, that doesn't meet the definition of rape, is just icing on the cake of the lack of justice for the young woman involved. She's being used six ways from Sunday, by governments and individuals with a soapbox, and it's just as wrong as what happened to her to begin with.
