If you read all the allegations that his 'victims' brought up, you see that while Assange isn't exactly a gentleman, nothing really bad took place. If Assange wasn't politically active in the way he is, he would get a slap on the wrist and move on with his life. It's pretty terrifying how you have to worry that your own country extradites you to America and this ruins your life even overseas.
EDIT: Before you reply angrily, please read the exact details of the cases. It's more subtle than you think. Just saying "but it's rape!" doesn't cut it here.

- threeseed 10y agoThis is really not appropriate. There are allegations of forced rape and sexual assault and we shouldn't be trivialising them. If Assange was just an ordinary guy and these allegations were true it absolutely wouldn't be just a slap on the wrist. Based on Sweden's chequered history with renditions I don't blame Assange for being reluctant to face the charges. But that doesn't mean he did or didn't do anything wrong.
