Does Sweden have a statue of limitations on rape?
- gabeochoa 10y ago"Some in the Foreign Office fear a permanent impasse between the UK and Ecuador, and that Assange will stay in the embassy until 2020, by which time a statute of limitations applies under Swedish law on the rape case." Its implied 10(?) years in the article

- gsnedders 10y agoPer below, yes. However, England doesn't have a statute of limitations on breach of bail, of which he is pretty clearly guilty. (England rarely has statute of limitations.)
