> Probably because you're asking people to Google stuff for you? It's all public. The burden of proof is on the commenter posting the claims. The article linked in the parent merely is a description of Assange's own statement, his side of the story, which certainly has no more credibility than the alleged victim and the legal authority. For example, regarding Assange's claims about text messages, the article makes a point of saying, "The ABC has not seen the text messages." > the women both created documentary evidence they were lying and one even attempted to destroy it. Again, any credible evidence? Surely this story would be in the NY Times and other major publications. > False reports of rape are extremely common. Most credible studies I've seen peg it at 50% or higher. I don't agree and I've never heard of such a study. We also are not talking about 'reports' by alleged victims, but an indictment by legal authorities after they examined the evidence. Again, perhaps the parent can provide some the evidence they say they've seen supporting this extraordinary claim about rape accusations, because false claims on the Internet are certainly even more common.
