And charged how many times?

Twice.

Detained =/= charged. You can be arrested and let go without any charge. Your link doesn't mention any other charges, just that she was detained 3 times.

I don't agree with you getting downvoted though, you've raised valid questions.

It was a joke in bad taste, I'll take the downvotes, it's fine. And I was objectively wrong anyway.

She was charged both times though. The first was in Sweden, where she was given a modest fine. You can't exactly be levied a fine in court without a charge that you did something wrong first, so it's implied.
