Not that I keep track of such things, but I always thought he was gay. Who knew?

Anyway, here’s a slightly more coherent report from an english language Swedish news site:

Don’t get your hopes up. Sweden seems to be notorious for not treating rape very seriously. It is apparently not often prosecuted.

I was waiting for the victim to be a 13 year old boy…but on a serious note, how come these chics didn’t just kick his ass? Couldn’t be that hard…

Rape is a serious charge. This being said, he will deny it and scores will come forth to decry the charges as a conspiracy theory.
I really wish he’d just be arrested for espionage, for global treason and for being the scumball that he his.

Maybe these are just holding charges until proper ones can be arranged and drawn up?

But, yeah… Assange has the creep-meter pegged to 11. I also thought he was a homo, so this is sort of surprising.

Update from the BBC:

“Swedish authorities have cancelled an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on accusations of rape and molestation.”

To be fair, if they actually tried to arrest him he’d release the rest of the docs.
That, and I’m pretty sure he’d need equipment he lacks to rape.
