Assange was never charged with anything in Sweden. Had prosecutors had evidence of a crime I expect he would have laid charges (and not dropped the case on two different occasions before the statute of limitations expired, with a huge number of procedural irregularities in-between), and he even could have been tried in absentia while he was in political asylum.
