Sweden Drops Rape Allegation Against WikiLeaks Founder Assange

Quote:

Sweden’s chief prosecutor dropped a rape allegation against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, reversing course just hours after she had ordered an arrest warrant for the man behind the release of thousands of secret U.S. government documents about the war in Afghanistan.

Chief Prosecutor Eva Finne “has come to the decision that Julian Assange is not suspected of rape,” a three-sentence English-language statement on her Stockholm office’s website said today. “Considering that, Assange is no longer arrested in his absence.”

Earlier in the day, when the allegations of rape and molestation initially had been made against him by Swedish prosecutors, Assange said in posting on Twitter that they were “without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing.”

.....

Pentagon lawyers believe WikiLeaks acted illegally in disclosing the documents and federal prosecutors are exploring possible criminal charges, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier today, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said July 28 that the Justice Department, which includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was investigating the source of the leaks. Whether criminal charges would be brought would depend on the course of the probe, he said.
GG baseless rape accusations.

Nothing like some defamation propaganda to make someone else look like the bad guy.

If John accuses Jack of committing some particular crime against John, even though John knows full well that Jack never did commit the crime, can the accusation be seen as an invitation to commit said crime?

Especially when you look like a smooth criminal.


Nich 22nd August 2010 14:26

he is a smooth dude, i'll give him that. Unleashing a shit storm like he did and being all soft spoken, contemplative and dressing snappy.

Vrtigo 22nd August 2010 15:35

lol that they thought this would actually be good for their case

guest 22nd August 2010 15:41

Definitely not something I expected to see happen, not surprising though. I guess the war on wikileaks is well underway.

xpandnz 22nd August 2010 19:29

the moment i heard the allegation i knew it was bullshit.

Warrick 22nd August 2010 19:30

Problem is, I can't tell when you're being stupid and when you're being deadly serious.

So is the US D.O.D still trying to get him fucked over via the Espionage Act? (IIRC he basically told them get fucked we're releasing the rest of the documents anyway).

p.s GTFO my thread xpandnz, also Warrick msg'd me on steam, he said he hates you because you're fat.

StN 23rd August 2010 10:42

Have they disclosed what the encrypted "Insurance" file is yet? And is it still in the format they were leaked it in, or did they sramble it themselves?

Not yet. But if things are heading in the direction they seem to be heading, we could be getting a look at this insurance file very shortly.

CCS 23rd August 2010 13:58

I heard he gay raped a dead male animal.

StN 23rd August 2010 14:07

Well, he is, you know, Australian...

CCS 23rd August 2010 14:16

... and then he re-animated it and raped it again and then murdered it and raped it again.

You really don't understand how Dad jokes work. That really is not worthy of the /crocos appellation.

fidgit 23rd August 2010 15:22

TBH I thought by this point it was applicable in general to just appalling jokes. I applogise for not realising this wasn't the case.
