Some people are asking - fairly - why so many people are prepared to dismiss sex allegations against Julian Assange w/o knowing the details. The answer lies in the women’s police statements, which were obtained by the UK Mail On Sunday at the time (late August).
Sweden, as we’re now well aware, does things differently. Apparently those statements are also available to the media in Sweden - and hence were studied and discussed exhaustively by WikiLeaks watchers, beginning in late August.
Go to this link for pix of Julian Assange’s accusers (and the blogger’s rant if you like). This was written Sep 2, after the charges were laid then quickly withdrawn. Yes something v fishy about charges laid, withdrawn, reframed and laid again with different prosecutor …
This is what living in a really politically correct nation is like: you get reported for failing to use a condom.
A lawyer for Assange recounts the incidents that led to sex charges in this article.
The situation is farcical.
These are a couple of women with whom he had consensual but “unsafe” sex - and the harridans reported him to police. 
I wonder why Sweden legislates this way on “sex crimes” (as described in the article). The triviality of some of these cases would hardly be worth the cost and time involved in pursuing them unless it is actually malicious and meant to serve as an easy way of getting hold of people they can’t otherwise pin down.
All that was needed to set this process against Assange in motion was a report to police; rape was never mentioned.
Whether the women understood the consequences of their contacting the police is open to speculation, but given that they were likely smitten with him beforehand (one definitely was; a groupie in fact) it appears malicious, and perhaps abetted by people who want to cut him down, whether inside or outside the WikiLeaks organisation.
