The first decade was stable enough, I wonder what changed in the mid eighties.

Another consideration is whether reporting specifications and reports par actual rape changed. If I'm not mistaken every act of abuse in a rape is considered a separate rape in Sweden. So if a man shoves his tongue into her mouth, his fingers into her vag, and then rapes her ass, that's three rapes. Also groping might now be called rape when it wasn't before.

Yep,that accounts for a lot of the increase. They changed their reporting and counting policy so each act, including every single act in long term abuse of one victim (such as in child molester cases) is counted as a separate act for the reported figures.
The real figure to look at is numbers of offenders, which last I saw (back in 2016 or so) we're a much closer match to the increase in unchecked migration.

«Rates of sexual assault in the EU
When comparing statistics in the EU it is important to bear in mind that countries record data differently and state laws vary greatly on what constitutes rape, so figures show the number of crimes that are reported—not committed.
Relative to the population of each country, police in England and Wales recorded the highest number of violent sexual offences per hundred thousand inhabitants in 2015 (130), followed by Sweden (120) and Belgium (nearly 66).
Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention has previously explained why there is a rise in reported sex offences in the decade leading up to 2015, saying legislation on rape was made tougher in 2005 and 2013. Changes included classifying certain acts of sexual exploitation as rape, as well as cases where "the victim reacts passively”.»

gotta love feminist government
[–] Scriptor ago
Sweden has historically been feminist. Maybe the perception of what rape is went up ? Do we know how many of them are marital rapes ?

Proof that women don't actually have empathy towards each other

Anyone who has ever worked in an office with more than a couple women has seen that fact in evidence every working day.
