He said that by my understanding is that if the Swedish police wish to charge him they need to do so in their own jurisdiction, he can't be charged in absentia. Additionally part of the process is an interview/questioning before the charges are made. Sweden can 'question' him here but it serves no purpose because they have no legal authority in Britain.

Why does he even need a conviction? We're not the ones charging him with anything (other than breaking his bail conditions). You don't need to be convicted to be extradited.
