"charges were mysteriously resurrected by a different prosecutor" is incorrect. The women appealed the prosecutor's original decision, which is their right under Swedish law. A new prosecutor looked at the case and decided to reverse that decision. Nothing "mysterious"... just the normal workings of a justice system. One key part of what Assange is accused of is initiating sex with a person who was asleep. This is a crime in many countries (Sweden, Canada, UK) that have specific legislation around consent (the UK laws actually include "sleep" in their language about consent).
