Assange victims not the source of charges
The women accusing Julian Assange of sexual misconduct were not initially wanting charges to be laid. I don’t want to dwell too much on the Julian Assange Wikileaks story, but here’s an interesting story in the National Post – Swedish women did not want Assange charged.
The report says both women were associates (or admirers or groupies – it’s not clear which) who had consensual sex with Assange in different settings. The issue, it appears, is that Assange had unprotected sex and he is suspected of being HIV positive. Hence the “sexual misconduct”.
Would you say somebody is out to get this guy? If he has broken some real law(s), why doesn’t somebody charge him?
