In reply to the discussion: Condom used as evidence in Assange sex case 'does not contain his DNA' [View all]joshcryer
(62,536 posts)If you recall the prosecutor dropped the initial investigation against Assange the day after wanting him for questioning. It wasn't until the two women appealed the investigation that a higher prosecutor got involved. I don't know where you are getting this about them "dropping the charges." Rape cases like this are almost impossible to pursue unless the victim testifies in the court room! It would require violent actions, video taped evidence, a dead body in a freezer for them to prosecute without the victim's testimony. How else do you prosecute date rape cases but with the person as a witness?
Anyway it seems I was incorrect, according to reorg SW, the "surprise sex" victim's condom didn't have DNA, it was AA apparently. So I don't know if that has any real relevance here or not.
