A woman who accused Julian Assange of raping her sent text messages speaking of getting revenge on the WikiLeaks founder and making money by “giving him a bad name”, a court has been told.

Mr Assange’s Swedish lawyer, Bjorn Hurtig, said he had seen dozens of texts sent by Miss W which “go against” her allegation last August that she was raped while she was asleep and suggest she has a “hidden agenda”.

The existence of the texts was disclosed as Mr Hurtig gave evidence on the second day of an extradition hearing to decide whether Mr Assange should be sent back to Sweden, where a prosecutor wants to indict him for rape and sexual assault.

Mr Assange is fighting the attempt to extradite him, and denies any wrongdoing, saying the allegations made by Miss W and a second woman, Miss A, involved consensual sex.
