The court ruled that what Assange is alleged to have done is rape under UK law. I realise that you may have a lot of respect for "feminist icon Naomi Wolf"[1], but her opinions does not represent the law. Allow me to quote from the actual legal opinion of an actual court (whose opinions, in fact, do represent the law): 'However, what is alleged here is that Mr Assange “deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state”. In this country that would amount to rape.' And that's that. UK courts ruled—twice—that Assange is alleged to have committed acts that in the UK would be rape, full stop.
