WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange continues his mission while confined on bail to a U.K. country mansion, as Swedish and U.S. authorities turn up the heat on his prosecution.

The Guardian has published detailed statements by prosecutors, who are trying to extradite Assange to Sweden for questioning, and accounts by some of the main players involved in the unfolding saga.

According to the police reports viewed by the Guardian, Assange's accusers allege the following:

That Assange "unlawfully coerced" Miss A by using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner.

That he "sexually molested" Miss A by having sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used.

1. so far the accusations are all very 'he said, she said'.

and that doesn't square very well with the swedes and their rather poor history of prosecuting rape cases.

3. In America the charge would be

Used his weight as a deadly weapon to repeatedly stab her.

12. Heh! Nt

2. "....using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner."

Isn't that how the Pope says we're supposed to have sex? Should she have been on top?

Signed,

4. This is it? This is all they have?

You'd think the New World Order could come up with something better.

5. So how can someone have sex in a none sexual manner?

6. We ask for transparency in government

and we got it! How transparent is this ongoing attempt to link Assange's name with the terms sex-criminal, pervert, sicko, rapist. TBTB know that if you fling enough mud for long enough, some of it will stick, if only in the minds of the uninformed masses.

This is character assassination of the very lowest and most crude type.

14. If we truly had transparency in government, we wouldn't know who Julian Assange is. n/t

7. There's more than one dimension to Assange

I don't have a problem supporting Assange as a WikiLeaker almost unconditionally, while at the same time *reserving judgment* on whether his sexual behaviour is benign and proper, or predatory and improper.

I'll wait to see the evidence, and his defense.

In the meantime, I very much wish the appalling anti-free speech, and anti-free press posture, of the U.S government, including the White House, and of other legal authorities on WikiLeaks, was not interfering as it is with timely and judicious consideration of the changes of sexual impropriety against Assange.

8. they tried a worse sex smear against Scott Ritter and it didn't stick.

10. Not much in the way of detail.

This does not sound like a case of rape to me, rather 'buyers' remorse on the part of these two women who were pissed that they were one of many.
Assange may have been two timing them, but that is not rape.

Worth reading if you get the chance. I just skimmed, but some things don't make sense.

13. These ladies are just pissed off because he was two-timing them. nt
