Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on sex charges.

The Australian is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion in an investigation that stems from his encounters with two women during a visit to Sweden in August.

Assange has denied the allegations and insisted his sexual relations with the women were consensual.

A veteran computer hacker, Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006. It has published almost 500,000 secret U.S. documents about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Court documents filed by the prosecutor show Assange is suspected of raping and sexually molesting a woman in the town of Enkoping, central Sweden. He's suspected of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion of the second woman, in Stockholm.

A police report obtained by The Associated Press shows that both women had met Assange in connection with a seminar he gave in Stockholm on Aug. 14. The report shows the women filed their complaints together six days later.

Mark Stephens, Assange's lawyer in Britain, said both women have declared that they had "consensual sexual relations" with Assange.

"Only after the women became aware of each other's relationships with Mr. Assange did they make their allegations against him," Stephens said in a statement.

Governments and some of Assange's own colleagues have denounced him for releasing Afghan documents that contained the names of Afghan intelligence sources for NATO forces, saying that could place the sources' lives at risk.

But Assange has urged U.S. authorities to investigate possible human rights abuses by American troops during the two conflicts. He also has complained that he and his group are being targeted and persecuted by intelligence agencies from the United States and elsewhere who are angry over the leaks of the secret military documents.

I hope he gets life in prison. I have no use for rapists and people who put other people's lives at risk.

You actually believe the story?!?
The government just wants him out of the picture so that the American people don't dig deeper,duh!!

Best of luck to Julian in evading the Regime. His services to humanity are awesome.

I think they do. I wish the mainstream media had half his backbone.

Ummmmmmmm, it wasn't the US Government that issued the warrant. Besides if it was our Government we would just have him killed(which I am perfectly fine with, I don't like pedophiles, rapists, murderers or people who compromise our men and wpmen in uniform and our allies).

Your applauding a man for two women? Your sick.

I hope we just suicide him.

If Assange is going to collect and publish state secret documents
then he will expect a great deal of scrutiny over every aspect
of his life and all his activities. He shall expect surveillance
and his personal habit of hiding and his concerns about being
arrested and interrogated are quite well founded.

The collection, dissemination and certainly the widespread public
publication of state secrets of any country in the world can
absolutely be expected to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
national and international law. Does this surprise anyone?



That his personal life would receive intense scrutiny and any charges
levied against him would be pursued with the utmost vigor is hardly
shocking and he can expect that even the slightest infraction will
result in swift and complete prosecution. Assange has chosen the path
of political confrontation and criminal mischief and has invited
international condemnation, outrage and scrutiny. The rape charges
are quite serious and will be taken seriously and he can be expected
to be prosecuted to the limit of the law for any infraction now.

I have no sympathy for Assange. Wikileaks activities are clearly
illegal. He has asked for personal scrutiny with an international
megaphone and he will get what he asked for. No country on earth
will have a lot of sympathy for him because every country has their
own privileged communications which are private and understandably so.

The Army private who stole all those thousands of documents did it because he was gay and upset over don't ask don't tell.Isn't that grand!These documents had the possibility to ignite World war 3 but would be worth it to gay private who made his statement by putting the entire world into conflict.

How the hell was someone able to walk out with all that info?

The private should be made an example of and prosecuted to the full extent that the Uniform Code of Military Justice(UCMJ) allows. The trial should be held on an internal military network so any other privates/officers/really any rank can see what the consequences of betraying your service and your country really are. As for the wiki leak founder...he wouldn't have a website if these other idiots quit giving him the information. Certian information is classified for a reason...generally protection of troops and citizens alike.

Julian is being accused of sex crimes so people will link the sex accusations to his sudden release of "top secret" documents thus giving Assange more credibility for the documents that were released; however, this is all part of an Illuminati plan to give credibility to documents that give a false message. The documents mention nothing about the global elite and the Jesuit Illuminati that really rule the planet, and there is no way Julian could have gotten away with releasing these documents on Wikileaks for so long and not have been captured. He is a government paid operative to spread disinformation, and I can prove it. Check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-kSuuJrzMo

yea, well whatever... he released top-secret documents, which is against the law... and if he did rape those two women, more power to the authorities that arrest him...hope they hang him

Whatever you think of the man, I think everybody should see this video.

Just brutal.
Journalists are one of the most targeted people in this war. THEY do not want the truth getting out. The less the public sees, the less outraged they will be. Why do you think Bush prevented photos of returning caskets?

Anyone see 'Restrepo' on Nat Geo channel the other night?
I'm surprised they even let a documentary like that out.

huh... i would rather have us win the war with as few causalities as possible rather worry about a few reporters that got in the way of things... look at that stupid Gerardo rivera exposing the location of troops trying to do their job.... what does pictures of caskets have to do with anything?

The private should be prosecuted for Treason and put to death, period.

You actually believe that pile of garbage? Oh and btw, these sex offenses happened long before the document dump.

I was kind of hoping he would release a copy of Obama's birth certificate..

I'm joking..

We all know that piece of paper is "G14 classified"..
