Condom used as evidence in Assange sex case 'does not contain his DNA'

261. As is the case with very many rape cases.

And one reason a lot of women don't pursue rape cases because it's just "he said / she said." Particularly in the case of date rape and such. Millions of cases go unreported because of that.

All it would substantiate is that she was in a position to get a condom with his semen on it. It would potentially show that he was in the same room with her as would be argued but Assange isn't disputing that. In fact, Assange's lawyers are arguing that it's not "legitimate rape" because the accuser didn't "stop him immediately." (As if that is always the go-to reaction to rape victims. Many allow it to continue on for fear of violence or to get it over with.)

This is all one reason that if the semen is not his then they will probably just drop the case because slandering her as a slut who sleeps around is a common defense in rape cases. I recommend he at the minimum give the Swedish authorities, voluntarily, his DNA sample. He could get the case dropped quick if it's not his DNA.
