In Reply to: RE: First, he is not charged with rape, and second he didn't flee. posted by bjh on October 18, 2016 at 21:56:25
"These are the key dates:
August 2010 - the Swedish Prosecutor's Office first issues an arrest warrant for Mr Assange. It says there are two separate allegations - one of rape and one of molestation. Mr Assange says the claims are "without basis"
December 2010 - Mr Assange is arrested in London and bailed at the second attempt
May 2012 - the UK's Supreme Court rules he should be extradited to Sweden to face questioning over the allegations
June 2012 - Mr Assange enters the Ecuadorean embassy in London
August 2012 - Ecuador grants asylum to Mr Assange, saying there are fears his human rights might be violated if he is extradited
August 2015 - Swedish prosecutors drop their investigation into two allegations - one of sexual molestation and one of unlawful coercion because they have run out of time to question him. But he still faces the more serious accusation of rape."

As some of us know, fruit picked from the same tree is extra sweet, but Assange made a big mistake in picking them both from almost the same branch!
Everything was going great for Assange until they met later on.
I'm not saying that Assange is a great guy - his conquests could be viewed as exploitative, but not illegal. He must have thought he'd struck gold - Anna Ardin (on the left) is a hottie! At the same time, both women may have acted somewhat out of character to take the opportunity to bed an Aussie bloke while on his travels. Can't blame them :-)
But then the quick shag regret kicks in .............
"""Neither woman ever claimed, initially, that she was "raped" by Mr. Assange—rape being våldtäkt in Swedish, but both spoke of the sex being unpleasant. They both concealed their distaste for how it had transpired—that's usually what women do. In the case of Ms. Ardin, she kept him as a houseguest for six nights after the incident, and even threw a crayfish party for him. In the case of Ms. Wilen, she and Mr. Assange, after a night of sex, joked about the broken condom, and his promise that if she got pregnant he would move to Sweden, pay off her student loans, and they "could name the baby Afghanistan."
She then went out and bought the two of them breakfast oats and orange juice. (Ian Fleming would never have allowed any of this.)
When Ms. Ardin learned Mr. Assange had also slept with Ms. Wilen, and when he failed the golden rule of elemental post-coital communications, they locked arms and went to the police—not to charge him with rape, but to see if he could be compelled to take an HIV test, on a Saturday, in Stockholm."""

"Ms. Ardin described herself online as somebody who, somewhat alarmingly, "burns for justice, solidarity and equality," and she once wrote a paper on "The 7 Steps To Revenge," against men who "dump you.""
"After the incidents for which he is wanted for questioning took place, in mid-August 2010, Mr. Assange remained in Sweden for five weeks, until September 27, during which time Swedish prosecutors once dropped the case altogether, only to re-open it days later. Prosecutor Marianne Ny was quoted in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter as having said: "Even if I'm wrong, I won't give up.""
"one must be familiar not only with the Swedish language, but also "Sweden," which does not refer to the land mass east of Norway, and north of Denmark, so much as to a constructed society obsessed with the elimination of risk. Sweden has both the most expansive rape laws (which extend all the way to marital bed nagging), as well as the highest number of reported rapes in the world."
Sounds totally eff'd up to me - no wonder they gave the Nobel prize for LITERATURE to Dylan! ;-)
... when the men (I am not making this up) lived in barns with the animals and only came into the house when it was time to impregnate the women."
If true, this explains a lot.
But not rape - or at least, not rape as we all know it.
