In 2005 they changed the way they report rape. First, they count each REPORT, before an investigation has been done.
Secondly, they count each act against an individual as separate counts of rape instead of one. Let's say a female at a rave reported being raped by 15 individuals one night. That would be counted as 15 individual reports of rape. Or, if a gay man says he was raped over 200 times over the course of a year, that would be counted as 200 unique counts of rape. There is also the year to account for, as a rape committed say in 2007 but reported in say 2014 would be added to 2014 totals under Swedish law. In 1992 in Sweden the legal definition of rape was widened to often include what many countries would consider sexual assaults, which led to a 25% increase in "rape" being reported. It's also important to look at the number of people in Sweden at the times give the reports. From 2005 there were around 9.02 million in Sweden. In 2015 there were 9.78, or an increase of 760,000 people. Also look at conviction rates. In 2007 for instance, less than 13% of those in Sweden accused of rape ended up being convicted. You can't look at this from just one side. People need to be objective and do actual research from multiple sources, in the most unbiased way possible.

Based on stats from the Swedish government, in 2006, presumably before there were refugees, there were 4208 rapes. In 2014 there were 6700 rapes. That right there is a 62.8% increase and doesn't take into account the last two years. Another stat shows that 77% of those were committed by men who were foreign born. They also currently have like the 6th highest rate of rape per capita in the world and highest by far of any western country.
