It was non-consensual.
Having agreed to sex earlier in the night and the girl demanding that Assange used a condom was consensual sex at that time.
Him sticking his dick into her without a condom early in the morning when she was asleep does not fall under the same consensus that was given earlier.

Stupid guy could have avoided the rape charge if he had agreed to go to a hospital and take an STD and HIV test but he refused to do that.

Ms Manning has been under investigation and remains in an ameristani jail. Has she "admitted" to new evidence concerning Assange's role. It's too early to say.

It's starting and the legal reasoning regarding his behaviour has been decided in an ameristani court, along with their higher Supreme Court, as unworthy of prosecution.

How You Can Be Certain That The US Charge Against Assange Is Fraudulent

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-12/how-you-can-be-certain-us-charge-against-assange-fraudulent

New York Times Co. v. United States

"Justice Hugo Black wrote an opinion that elaborated on his view of the absolute superiority of the First Amendment:
[T]he injunction against The New York Times should have been vacated without oral argument when the cases were first presented... . [E]very moment's continuance of the injunctions ... amounts to a flagrant, indefensible, and continuing violation of the First Amendment. ... The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell. ... [W]e are asked to hold that ... the Executive Branch, the Congress, and the Judiciary can make laws ... abridging freedom of the press in the name of 'national security.' ... To find that the President has 'inherent power' to halt the publication of news ... would wipe out the First Amendment and destroy the fundamental liberty and security of the very people the Government hopes to make 'secure.' ... The word 'security' is a broad, vague generality whose contours should not be invoked to abrogate the fundamental law embodied in the First Amendment. The guarding of military and diplomatic secrets at the expense of informed representative government provides no real security... . The Framers of the First Amendment, fully aware of both the need to defend a new nation and the abuses of the English and Colonial governments, sought to give this new society strength and security by providing that freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly should not be abridged.^[13]"^{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._United_States}^{But as we know, legal "opinions", presumably even Supreme Court rulings, can be overruled by more "understanding" and more recently appointed, judges.}

WikiLeaks founder Assange put into ‘Britain’s Guantanamo’ — agency

WikiLeaks founder Assange put into ‘Britain’s Guantanamo’ — agency

"LONDON, April 13. /TASS/.

The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been put into the Belmarsh high-security prison in southeastern London, known informally as "Britain’s Guantanamo," Bloomberg reported on Friday citing Assange’s friend Vaughan Smith.

Smith was the last person who visited Assange in the Embassy of Ecuador prior to his arrest this Thursday. He says that Assange was taken to Belmarsh straight after the Westminster Magistrates' Court ruled to keep him in custody.

The Belmarsh prison is known for its harsh security measures. In the past, the facility has held high-profile inmates, such as radical Islamic preacher Abu Qatada, once referred to as "Osama Bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe."

Assange was arrested by the United Kingdom’s Metropolitan Police Service at the Ecuadorian embassy in London on Thursday, after Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno had announced the withdrawal of his asylum.

In 2012, Assange sought refuge in London's Ecuadorian Embassy to escape extradition to Sweden, which had issued a warrant for his arrest on sexual harassment and rape charges. Assange dismissed the accusations as politically motivated. His worst fear was Sweden might extradite him to the United States, where he would face 35 years in prison or capital punishment for publishing classified State Department documents. The rape case was dropped in 2017 but the United Kingdom continued to insist that Assange be arrested over his failure to appear in court in London."

says who, this is ridiculous? consent is consent, there is no time limit. If you want to ass rape your woman in the middle of the night, you don't need her permission when she has gone full anal in the first hours of the night.

Claiming rape over a condom, jesus christ, those Swedish idiots really have raised the bar in the ridiculous world of righteous manners and full PC

**foobar** · 13-04-2019, 05:35 PM

According to her statement she was awake in the morning when he spooned/barebacked her and she didnt protest, afterwards Assange fell asleep and she nipped out to the shops and came back and made breakfast, it was only when Assange didnt call her and she met up with another of his conquests who also complained of Assange not calling her ...that the rape allegation reared its head, especially when it was mentioned that a newspaper might pay for the story.

you never fucked a girl for a second round in the night, and still asked for a consent while she was moaning with pleasure?

Read the Constitution! Twitter drags House Democrats over Assange & free speech

"The Democrat-majority House Foreign Affairs Committee went after an RT America reporter and described WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange as a “criminal who weaponized stolen information.” Twitter was not amused.

Assange was arrested in London on Thursday, on a US warrant related to WikiLeaks’ publication of classified US documents in 2010 – and, at least so far, not in relation to the 2016 publication of Democratic National Committee documents or private emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair. That has not stopped some US politicians from reviving the recently debunked specter of Russiagate, including House Foreign Affairs chair Eliot Engel (D-New York).

After being criticized for this by RT America correspondent Dan Cohen, the committee majority tweeted from their official account that the First Amendment of the US Constitution “protects free expression, even for Russian propaganda outlets like the one you work for. It doesn’t protect criminals who weaponize stolen information.”

The ratio on the tweet was something to behold, with replies outnumbering likes and retweets 3:1. The overwhelming number of responses were negative, ranging from calling out the tweet’s incorrect claim about Assange and WikiLeaks, to the defense of RT and suggestions that maybe the HFAC staff need to re-read the Constitution"

In other news of the "unexceptional country north of Mexico's" ongoing legal battles worldwide, goldilocks is welcoming the decision of one international legal body, the International Criminal Court (ICC).

"After the International Criminal Court (ICC) declined to investigate claims of US atrocities in Afghanistan, US President Donald Trump cheered the decision but said the ICC was “illegitimate” and US and allies beyond its reach. “This is a major international victory, not only for these patriots, but for the rule of law,” the White House said in a statement, referring to the ICC decision to reject the request to investigate the actions of US military and intelligence officials in Afghanistan.

The US “holds American citizens to the highest legal and ethical standards,” and has consistently refused to join the ICC because of its “broad, unaccountable prosecutorial powers,” threats to US sovereignty, and “and other deficiencies that render it illegitimate,” Trump said in a statement;

Any attempt to target American, Israeli, or allied personnel for prosecution will be met with a swift and vigorous response.

Last week, Washington canceled the entry visa of ICC’s chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, saying that The Gambian lawyer had been conducting a preliminary investigation into claims of torture, cruelty and sexual assault by US and allied personnel in Afghanistan, dating to 2003-2004.

Bensouda had found a “reasonable basis to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in connection with the armed conflict in Afghanistan,” and was reportedly planning to open a formal investigation.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Bensouda last month to “change course” or face US sanctions, however, declaring that the US was determined to protect its troops and civilians from “living in fear of unjust prosecution for actions taken to defend our great nation.”

While Washington has pushed for the creation of ad-hoc international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), the US voted against the establishment of the ICC in 1998, and has refused to join or submit to its authority after the court was officially created in 2002.

The US has held itself above international law for decades. In 1986, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled that Washington had violated international law by supporting the Contras in Nicaragua. The US refused to participate in the proceedings and blocked the enforcement of the judgment in the UN Security Council.

What makes the pressure on ICC different than in the past, UK journalist Neil Clark told RT recently, is that "interference and attacks are now in the open," whereas in the past they would be confined to back channels and low-key intrigue.

“You know, it's the empire with its mask off,” said Clark."

IMF approves $4.2bn loan for Ecuador

AFP

"WASHINGTON - The International Monetary Fund on Monday approved a $4.2-billion, three-year loan for Ecuador, part of a broader aid package to help support the government's economic reform program.
The Washington-based lender agreed to the terms of the financing late last month, and the final approval of the IMF board on Monday releases the first installment of $652-million.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the aid will support the government's efforts to shore up its finances, including a wage "realignment," gradual lowering of fuel subsidies, and reduction of public debt.

"The savings generated by these measures will allow for an increase in social assistance spending over the course of the program," Lagarde said in a statement, stressing that "Protecting the poor and most vulnerable segments in society is a key objective" of the program.

Quito is expected to receive another $6-billion from the Development Bank of Latin America, the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank and the Latin American Reserve Fund.

"The Ecuadoran authorities are implementing a comprehensive reform program aimed at modernizing the economy and paving the way for strong, sustained, and equitable growth," Lagarde said.

IMF performs periodic reviews of its loans to ensure governments are following through on its policy pledge and then releases funds in installments."
