WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange has been asked bluntly at a Cambridge University debating forum, “Why did you rape those women?”
SPEAKING by video link on Wednesday from his Ecuadorian embassy refuge in London, he replied that no woman had alleged rape against him and he’d been cleared by Sweden’s chief investigator.
The 44-year-old Australian is wanted for questioning by Swedish authorities over a suspected rape in 2010, an allegation he has consistently denied.Three cases of alleged sexual assault against Assange were dropped earlier this year because a Swedish statute of limitations had lapsed, but the rape allegation remains.In response to the rape question at the Cambridge Union forum on Wednesday, Assange said he was surprised he didn’t get a “trigger warning”, but he said “no woman has alleged rape against me”.He went on to say that “formally I have already been cleared by the chief investigator” in Sweden and the woman involved had said “the police made it up and she was railroaded”.
