the reports of rape were made public by Sweden's right wing tabloid, a violation of Sweden's laws btw which was supposed to be investigated but never was, she refused to speak to the police again.
There are public statements from the women saying there was no rape and he was no threat to them.
This is why there are no charges. The women are being exploited and real rape is being diminished by using it as a political ploy.
Also the lawyer who inserted himself into the case on behalf of the women believes that all men should pay a 'rape tax' even if they are not themselves guilty of anything, but are responsible for what other men do. There are some pretty wacko people who have been used in this obvious set up.
Not to mention that just months before this all happened, Wikileaks obtained a CIA document discussing how to silence Assange and settling on smearing him by accusing him of rape. It was published on their website.
Karl Rove is a good friend of Sweden's current Republican Prime Minister, and of Sweden's Foreign Minister. He was a political adviser in Sweden in 2010. This smacks of a Rovian plot to bring down a political opponent as many observers have said.
