Allegations of sexual assault[edit]

On 20 August 2010, Swedish police opened an investigation against Assange in connection with sexual encounters with two women, aged 26 and 31,[5] one in Enköping and the other in Stockholm.[6] Within hours, Chief Public Prosecutor Eva Finné reviewed the case and dropped the rape investigation saying, "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape."

Karin Rosander, communications head at Sweden's prosecutors' office, said there had been two separate allegations against Mr Assange, one of rape (which was initially dismissed) and the other of molestation. On the charge of molestation, Ms. Rosander was quoted as saying "The [chief prosecutor] will look into that later. She hasn't been able to do that, but that's not enough for being arrested. It's not a serious enough crime."[7]

On 30 August Stockholm police questioned Assange.[8] He denied the allegations, saying he had consensual sexual encounters with the two women.[9][10]

Claes Borgström, who represents the two women, appealed against the decision to drop the rape investigation. Swedish Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny then reopened and expanded the investigation on 1 September.[11] On 21 September she contacted Assange's Swedish lawyer Björn Hurtig requesting an interview with Assange but the lawyer was not able to speak to his client to arrange for him to be interviewed before he left Sweden on 27 September 2010.[12] Assange's legal team say Assange offered himself for interview before leaving Sweden and offered to return on 10 October but that Ny said these dates were not acceptable, at which point they made Assange available for interview "by telephone, videolink, Skype, on affidavit or during his proffered attendance at the Swedish Embassy or New Scotland Yard" and that Ny also refused these offers.[13]

On 18 November 2010 prosecutor Marianne Ny asked the local district court for a warrant for Assange in order for him to be heard by the prosecutor.[14] The court ordered Assange detained in absentia.[15][16] On appeal the Svea Court of Appeal upheld the arrest warrant, on suspicion of "rape (less serious crime), unlawful coercion and two cases of sexual molestation".[17][18] Assange's legal team have argued that there is no such thing as "minor rape", that "rape" is a mistranslation from Swedish, and that the allegations given do not meet the English or European legal definition of "rape".[13] The Supreme Court of Sweden upheld the detention order.[19] Assange has not yet been formally charged with any offences.[20] On 6 December 2010, Scotland Yard notified Assange that a valid European arrest warrant had been received.[21] He presented himself to the Metropolitan Police the next morning and was remanded to London's Wandsworth Prison.[22][23] On 16 December he was granted bail with a condition of residence at Ellingham Hall, Norfolk and required to wear an electronic tag. Bail was set at £240,000 surety with a deposit of £200,000 ($312,700) required to be placed in court.[24]

On release Assange said "I hope to continue my work and continue to protest my innocence in this matter,"[25] and told the BBC, "This has been a very successful smear campaign and a very wrong one."[26] Assange claimed that the extradition proceedings to Sweden were "actually an attempt to get me into a jurisdiction which will then make it easier to extradite me to the US." Swedish prosecutors have denied the case has anything to do with WikiLeaks.[24]

The extradition hearing took place on 7–8 and 11 February 2011 at Belmarsh Magistrates' Court, Thamesmead, south east London.[27] His defence team outlined seven strands of their argument, including a challenge for abuse of process.[28] Assange's representative at the extradition hearing was Geoffrey Robertson QC, a human rights specialist.[29] The hearing over-ran the two days originally allocated and an additional session took place on 11 February.[30] The outcome of the hearing is scheduled to be announced on 24 February.[31]
