Mr. Assange learned very hard lesson in publicity: No matter how benevolent you or others think your actions may be, the moment you do something incredibly stupid (like commit a sex crime), your world will effectively implode. In this case, his world imploded to dimensions of about 6x8 feet. Undoubtedly, there will be some hard-core conspiracy theorists who will say this is the work of the U.S. Government, and that is a very satisfying belief, but it doesn't take into account the following facts: 1) The claimant is not an American, and does not have any interest in silencing Assange (aside from the crimes he is accused of), 2) The investigation was conducted by the neutral Swedish government, 3) The evidence collected in the criminal investigation of the victim's claims has nothing to do with Assange's release of classified documents. Regardless of the evidence collected, Assange and his supporters will claim that he did not get a fair trial if convicted. However, evidence does not change when the verdict is issued, and for there to be enough compelling evidence for an arrest warrant to be issued, there has to be a substantial amount. Julian Assange has demonstrated the type of personality that is Self-Righteous and accepts benevolence based on what *he* thinks is right. Someone ought to give Mr. Assange a dose of his own medicine: LEAK ALL OF HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION!
