The conviction will not appear on the man’s criminal record. However, if he reoffends, he will be sentenced for this rape as well as for the new offence.
Why wait to be proven wrong? I don't understand. Rapists shouldn't be doctors.
Doctors get one rape...

By finding him guilty but not punishing him, he will be made to feel guilty and the chance of him reoffending will be prevented, without socially impairing the man
What a load of horse shit. “Letting him get away with rape penalty free will ensure he doesn’t do it again” is some crazy fucking logic. Seems like knowing there are no consequences for your actions would make repeating the offense significantly more likely.
It's funny that the court would explicitly legitimize the idea that some people deserve to be "socially impaired" and others do not despite committing exactly the same crime.
Funny in the sense that it contradicts the entire foundation that the legal system is based on and makes the court look illegitimate and deliberately corrupt.
It's a bit like the old sitcom "Night Court" where the judge would find the ladies of the evening guilty as charged and turn them loose with "time served" as their penalty.
This "lack of sentence" is a bit more than time served since the penalty for this crime can still be applied at any time if the offender is in court for anything else.
It's overly lenient and a bad message, but better than letting off manslaughter charges for a defense of "affluenza." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43621839
I’m sure this concept of non-punishment will now be applied to many other cases across social classes, right?
Right…?

He was training to be a gynecologist, so definitely would rape again. Don’t wish for him to have another victim but sounds like a second offense gets him a sentence for the first one as well.
Seems like his goal from the beginning

At getting away with rape.
This truly is a prison planet.
This reminds me of the rapist Brock Turner, aka Allen Turner, the rapist.
Oh Allen Turner? Who started using his middle name instead of Brock Turner? Because he raped an unconscious woman behind a dumpster? That guy? (Brock/Allen Turner?)
I just want to be sure I'm thinking of the right guy...

This Brock Allen Turner right?

What the actual fuck.
Don't worry, that's not the real reason. The real reason is most likely that the perpetrators family is rich and the victim's family isn't.
Latest case of affluenza. He needs the Brock Turner treatment. You remember the rapist Brock Turner, right?
I actually spend quite a lot of time in Leuven these days, and looking at some of those houses and the general state of Belgium today ... I can't say that's not likely to be true.
It's just that the place kinda struck me as safe. I guess it's not.
It is quite safe. What I heard about this case is that the victim was happy with the outcome.
They met at a party, she was drunk. He said he asked consent, she said he raped her. There was no evidence or allegation of force, just that she couldn't have consented in her drunken state.
He had a clean record.
He got convicted and ordered to pay €3500 and if he commits another crime, then this one will count too.
She was satisfied with the outcome. She especially wanted recognition that it was rape.
I think this is a good outcome. If he ever rapes someone again, he'll be a serial rapist and get the book thrown at him.
And on the flipside, I find it difficult to throw the book at people under the circumstances in these kind of cases.
