Julian Assange Is Judged A Possible Rapist As Case Reopens
THE good news for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is that his name is still on the news agenda. The bad news is that there are now even more internet phrases linking his name to rape.
The rape case that was dropped has now been restarted. The Swedish Prosecution Authority says:
“There is reason to believe a crime has been committed. More investigations are necessary.”
Marianne Ny, director of public prosecution, says:
“…considering information available at present, my judgment is that the classification of the crime is rape.”
“Present judgement” is a phrase that suggests that the judgement may change. Which, if it is a judgement, is not much of one. But good that ongoing judgements as to whether a named man is or is not a rapist are made under the media spotlight.
The full statement:
Director of Public Prosecution Ms Marianne Ny has decided on the request for review in the Assange matter.
The investigation concerning rape will be reopened.
– There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. Considering information available at present, my judgement is that the classification of the crime is rape. The basis for further considerations is not sufficient at the moment. More investigations are neccessary before a final decision can be made.
The investigation concerning molestation will be extended to include all allegations in the original police report.
– There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. Based on the information available, the crimes in question come under the heading of sexual coercion and sexual molestation, respectively.
Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny will be leading the further investigations. She will be assisted by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ms Erika Lejnefors.
– Due to the investigation and the persons involved in the matter, I cannot give more information concerning details in the investigation.
