I am by no means an expert on Swedish law, but I do know that, in UK, when you are "assisting the police with their enquiries" you aren't actually assisting the police, you're a suspicious character. When they issue an ARREST warrant, I assume they regard him suspiciously.
But like I say, I don't really know a thing about Swedish law!
The irony of all this is that Assange went to Sweden in the first place because he wanted to move his Wiki operation there. He should have --forgive the expression--boned up on Swedish laws with regard to sexual relations. They apparently don't take force/coercion/rape cases lightly.
I guess "Nej" means "Nej" over that way, as it should everywhere.
