Julian Assange rape charges dropped by Swedish authorities

Via Billy


Sweden's top prosecutor said Friday she would drop the investigation into a rape claim against Julian Assange after almost seven years -- but the controversial WikiLeaks founder isn't a free man just yet.

Assange, 45, took refuge in Ecuador's Embassy in London in 2012 to escape extradition to Sweden to answer questions about sex-crime accusations from two women. He has been there ever since, claiming officials could ultimately extradite him to the United States.

Friday's announcement meant Assange no longer was under any investigation in Sweden. However, British police said Assange was still wanted in the U.K. for jumping bail in 2012 -- so he could still face arrest if he leaves the Ecuadorean Embassy.

  1. Trying to flush him out for the kill? I would be very careful if I was that guy.

  2. This guy should be getting a pardon and a Medal of Freedom for demonstrating what true investigative journalism really consists of. His collection and dissemination of Hillary/Podesta/DNC crimes, are things that an unbiased and un-tethered media should have been uncovering and courageously reporting.

    Wikilinks is in part to thank for the Trump victory. It is a shame he isn't being afforded any gratitude for his herculean efforts.

      Agreed.

  3. He still gets arrested if leaving the embassy. So ridiculous.

    Likely if they do arrest him, the US will then make noise to want him. The UK just wants him for "resisting arrest" or whatever you call it. And Sweden hasn't exactly dropped the charges; just partially given up. Whatever terms one wishes to use: Assange is still stuck in the embassy.

  4. The clients lawyer said that the women can't change her view that Assange exposed her to rape. REALLY! Now what does that even mean? Did he buy her a beer and she got a bit loopy. And Assange jumped bail for what exactly? All of this was a conspiracy to get Assange. Now for a real conspiracy theory...were the Brit intelligence agencies using CIA facilities to spy on Trump as the Judge suggested in order to avoid warranted spying? Yea, I bet that they can't remember that far back. indyjonesouthere
