In reply to the discussion: What motivates the outrage over Julian Assange's Political Asylum? [View all]HiPointDem
(20,729 posts)anna ardin (the political secretary & press officer for 'the brotherhood,' a faction within sweden's social democratic party; the person who arranged assange's lecture, travel, and homestays; also reportedly once an anti-castro activist, organizer of a mission to gaza, and founder of a gay nightclub) considers herself the victim of sexual abuse or molestation but not rape.
Reading her police testimony, the 'sexual abuse' apparently consists of her *suspicion* that assange deliberately broke the condom he used when they had sex.
The other woman "told her a similar but worse story".
Huh?
The story she told the police is that she took assange to her workplace (a museum) the first day she met him and allowed him to suck her breasts, unzip her pants, etc. in the museum cinema with her workmates also sitting in the cinema.
Two days later she brought him to her apartment, had voluntary sex three times with him, once with a condom covering only the head of his penis, went out to get him breakfast leaving him alone in her apartment, came back, got back in bed with him, dozed off and was awakened by him entering her again, and said "Are you wearing anything? You better not have HIV" before allowing him to continue sex. He was already 'in' so she "couldn't be bothered" (probably a bad translation) to do more, as she'd been nagging him about condoms all night (which he wore when asked to).
Afterwards she told him if she got pregnant he'd have to pay her student loans. They joked about naming the baby 'afghanistan'. she went with him to the station and asked him if he'd call her again.
Neither story is particularly horrifying.
where's the accusation of rape in your translation?
