I feel like I’ve seen mixed conflicting things about him and am unsure.
the rape allegations (which as alleged boil down to consent around condom (re?)use) are likely fake and cooked up by the US security apparatus
He fucked someone while they slept, and kept removing condoms after it was agreed that sex would only happen with a condom. It’s sexual assault. It’s bad.
He should still not end up in a US blacksite being tortured for laughs.

I once read that after the revolution was over, Che enjoyed traveling around the Cuban countryside just murdering random innocent people for fun. Are we gonna believe that?
The point is, is it possible that Assange is a rapist? Of course, anything is possible. But there’s no fucking way I’m taking western corporate media/western intelligence orgs word for it.
You’re not taking their word for it, you’re taking the word of the person whom he assaulted.
- The person said she was “half-asleep” when they had sex, which is very different to being asleep.
- The condom which was presented as evidence didn’t contain DNA of Assange or of the person he alledgedly raped.
- The person who accused him once wrote an article "“The 7 Steps To Revenge against men who dump you.” False rape accusations was one of the steps.
- Of the two women, has to this day kept on refusing to sign a statement which contains that he raped her
- Sweden has very strict laws about the identity of people whoi’re accused of crimes. One of the two women used to work in the newspaper Expressen, where - contrary to Swedish law - his identity was leaked. The same newspaper also published Assange testimony to the police (in which he said he was afraid it would be leaked to that newspaper).
If you want to know more: I’d suggest starting with this article and the sources it quotes.
Yes. No one deserves torture. It is always wrong.
If you’re out there shitting on assange you might as well be CIA.
