So Julian Assange is on trial. For what? Rape, espionage? No charges stuck as of now. The Swedish rape law states that if sexual encounter begins with a consensus then rape cannot be ruled even if the encounter becomes non-consensual. In other words, if a partner commits to a sexual act he/she cannot claim rape even if the act becomes non-consensual afterwards.
Regarding espionage, Mr. Assange did not publish anything that we don't know already. The WikiLeak reports are hardly any deepthroat information. So what did these reports really reveal? Did we learn anything new?
