You wrote: "They [the rape allegations] were credible until they were revealed as complete fabrications by no other than the UN human rights reporter [Nils Melzer]." I had not read his blog post, so thank you for providing this. Unfortunately, his claims about Assange's accusers are so totally unsubstantiated that it's hard to believe they were written by a law professor. One of Assange's accusers didn't appreciate Melzer's attempts to tar her as a fabricator. According to Der Spiegel [1]: So he blames the victims, the woman writes; it was "a classic patriarchal technique to define the conditions for how 'a real rape victim' should behave". It also accuses the lawyer of personally slandering her and, in some cases, spreading the untruth about the investigation, such as Assange's willingness to testify about the incidents. This is "completely unacceptable, shocking and a reason to quit his job at the UN". Melzer, on being challenged by the victim, seems to have been less sure about his facts. In email correspondence with the victim, he writes, "My understanding of the situation may still be incomplete." He also writes: "I do not believe that your own information has been faked by the police."
