Dignity of the two girls is not involved because they did not report being raped or molested despite what the news say.
Ms. Ardin hosted Assange six days after the alleged incident and threw party for him.
Ms. Wilen and Assange separated in good mood afterwards and had breakfast together.
They went to police in order to persuade him to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and after the police said they cold not do such thing they basically asked the police "if they could have been raped or molested" without never reporting rape or molestation. In the prosecutors report girls describe sex as unpleasant and that they did not like it. Under Swedish law police and the prosecution are required to register and prosecute all possible rape offenses of which they become aware. Prosecutors even dropped the case once.
As far as I understand, this is just procedural limbo. Swedish prosecutors are required to continue with hearing and Assange is freaked out of his mind because the case is so absurd.
I don't agree with those who claim that Swedish rape laws are bad, but I think they are very different from other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#/media/File:Rape_rate_per_100,000_-_country_comparison_-_United_Nations_2012.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#/media/File:Ra...
- wallace_f 10y agoThis comment should really be further towards the top to make it more visible. Unfortunately, due to the media people now associate Assange with "rape." I grew up thinking rape meant something completely different than whatever happened here, be it, at the worst, what sounds like unpleasant and regrettable consensual sex.
