(The article and other links, see below, are all in Swedish. So far international media has not reacted. But it will not be long....)

Julian Assange is wanted by Swedish police on probable grounds suspected of rape. Two women 20 and 30 years old contacted the police on Friday.

I find Assange more than slimey, this is terribly convenient, perhaps too much so.

Eh, let the investigation run where ever it leads, if he is guilty than by all means he should be incarcerated.

Charges have been withdrawn. It is a headline on Fox News, no link to an article yet (well the link opens the original charges article).

I just heard that on Fox News radio too. They said the Prosecutor has withdrawn the charges, saying he sees no reason to suspect that Assange has committed rape. This whole thing is verra verra strange.

Did Luther have this “Anti-Catholic Bias” thing I’m hearing so much about.

Hopefully the Vatican nailed his ass to the wall in retribution.

Yahoo has this:

It’s possible that there may still be a less serious charge of molestation in the works.

The chief prosecutor has withdrawn the warrant, however, investiation into the lesser charge(s) of molestation continues.

My take on this - for whatever it is worth: Probably a case of “culture clash”. Assange is fêted like a superstar in certain quarters. No lack of adoring females. Like many foreigners he has misunderstood the sexual mores of Swedish females, who are not always as “liberated” as they are reputed to be.

In short he may have behaved lika a cad, but no rape.

He, he.

Actually one of the women involved was interviewed in Expressen. Confirms pretty much what I wrote above. (”A man with a deranged view of women and a problem to understand “no”.)

I wonder why his “wife” left him?
And took her SON This creep has a child and he’s running around the world trying to get people murdered by the Islamofascist. Does he support his child or is he as careless in the Fatherhood role?

Not a fail, a warning of what is to come. They wanted this to be obvious. Smart move actually. The next move may well be fatal for him.

Link to the interview with the woman who claimed she was molested (not raped) can be found here and here, though both articles are in Swedish.

I'm on my way out so either use a web-translator or wait for my translation tomorrow (if needed).

Cheers,

SB

PS: Note that the second article seems to be a rewrite of the first one. The sentence "It started out as consensual sex...." does not appear to be a direct quote, and "sex" could just as well mean "petting" as an intercourse, You know, it is a question of how you define "is". :)

Guy looks queer to me. I’m guessing he raped a young boy.
