Exactly. It is not "simply" an allegation of "consensual sex without protection".
The offences he is alleged to have carried out are also illegal under English law as well as Swedish law, and one of the alleged offences is still classed as rape here just as it is in Sweden.
If you have sex with someone while they are asleep they cannot consent, if they cannot consent then it is rape. It's quite simple. That is what he is accused of allegedly doing.
See here for the actual charges, how they are also offences in the UK, and how it is more than just "sex without a condom":
