Last edited Tue Aug 19, 2014, 08:29 AM - Edit history (1)
There are four allegations as set out in box (e) of the warrant:
1.
On 13th 14th August 2010, in the home of the injured party in Stockholm, Assange, by using violence, forced the injured party to endure his restricting her freedom of movement. The violence consisted in a firm hold of the injured partys arms and a forceful spreading of her legs whilst lying on top of her and with his body weight preventing her from moving or shifting.
2.
On 13th 14th August 2010, in the home of the injured party in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity. Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her without her knowledge.
3.
On 18th August 2010 or on any of the days before or after that date, in the home of the injured party in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity i.e. lying next to her and pressing his naked, erect penis to her body.
4.
On 17th August 2010, in the home of the injured party in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state.
It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured partys sexual integrity.
The framework list is ticked for Rape. This is a reference to an allegation 4. The other three allegations are
described in box (e) II using the same wording as set out above.

These documents have been posted on this site repeatedly. You have had them brought to your attention before. It's bad enough you defend an accused sexual assailant, but that you then turn around and tell someone they don't care about women because they expect an accused sexual assailant to face the legal charges against him?
You are not the arbiter of which women deserve justice and which do not. That you proclaim yourself as the one person who cares about women is beyond the pale. Thankfully, I do not count on you to look after my rights.

Who was raped? There were never any such charges, no charges at all as a matter of fact.
