Especially since the original "victim" retracted the allegations. Sweden simply refused to drop the charges afterwards, apparently for political reasons.

- ceejayoz 7y agoThat doesn't appear to be the case. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/julian-assange-rape-victim-elisabeth-fritz-sweden-drop-investigation-wikileaks-stockholm-british-a7744741.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/julian-assan... "The woman who accused Julian Assange of rape has said she is 'shocked' by Sweden’s decision to drop the seven-year investigation."
- iamnothere 7y agoThis is curious, because I definitely remember someone recanting their allegations. It was a big deal. It's hard to find clear information on it now. Was there a second accuser maybe? Edit: based on some other comments there may have been two accusers. In that case my original comment was misleading, thanks for the correction.
