The Swedish prosecutor in 2010 did say she believed that rape had not happened. assange was cleared. But then a different prosecutor said that she wanted to further investigate the charge of rape. There were two other lesser offenses being considered but the statute of limitations has expired. The arrest warrant is for questioning about rape. I guess that is not a "charge" of rape. So Assange may be telling the truth but not the "whole truth." Whether not telling the "whole truth" is "lying" depends on which of severAl definitions of lying you want to use.
