Do you know if those charges carry the same connotation in Sweden as in the United States? IIRC, there was some confusion about what he actually is being charged with when the case was originally brought, then dismissed as unsubstantiated, then reopened.
- hythloday 14y agoHere's the transcript of the High Court decision that declined his appeal. http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgments/assange-summary.pdf http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgment... "Rape - On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [SW] in Enköping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state. It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party’s sexual integrity." I would consider that to be rape, but I have no idea whether the US in general or legally would agree.

Anyone who had read all of the posts in this thread knows there is something suspect about this whole case. Simply interview the man where he can't be extradited to the US and be done with it.
