This is the only interview the women did, "voluntary relations" seems to be the key bit.

It was published in Swedish and has been virtually ignored by western media. Here's a snippet from the article
"One of two women involved told Aftonbladet in an interview published today that she had never intended Assange to be charged with rape. She was quoted as saying: It is quite wrong that we were afraid of him. He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him.
Speaking anonymously, she said each had had voluntary relations with Assange: The responsibility for what happened to me and the other girl lies with a man who had attitude problems with women.
Sources close to the woman said that issues arose during the relationships about Assanges willingness to use condoms."
