Fact Check: Sexually abusing children is illegal in Finland, contrary to claims made online

 Quoting: Pin This !


It's a little murky.

The headline originated from this court ruling:

Calls for change were amplified last year when Finland’s supreme court ruled that a man who sexually abused a 10-year-old girl could not be charged with rape as there was no evidence the crime had involved violence or that the child was overcome by fear.
 Quoting: The Guardian

Your fact-check site is saying that Finland's laws were updated after this to correct the court ruling:

The 2018 case did, however, prompt the updating of Finnish laws to define sexual abuse as rape without requiring prosecutors to prove violence
 Quoting: Child Hub


So the headline is definitely misleading.
