Scenario 1.1: Two women file false reports of one rape and one sexual harassment; possibly on behalf of the US government (or someone else who doesn't like Wikileaks)
Scenario 1.2: Someone who knows his every move is being watched (by the media, if nothing else) rapes one woman and sexually harasses another one in under two weeks.
The simplest explanation is often the correct one, but that doesn't mean we should restrict ourselves to just two possible explanations.
Also your second scenario doesn't match the currently known facts: the women who filed the reports aren't made up, regardless of whether the charges are.
- mseebach 16y agoRapes are seldom the outcome of a rational decision. Scenario 1.3: Assange parties with two women, gets slightly too fresh with them and the ensuing sex wasn't completely as agreed on. Scenario 1.4: Assange parties with two women and the morning after, they decide he's a douchebag and gets worked up that he took advantage of them and what happened was really, actually rape.
