(62,325 posts)Hard to answer charges that have never been filed against you. Even harder when the prosecutor refuses to take the step that would either cause a dismissal of the case or enable her to finally, after two long years, file those charges.
The process has not occurred because of either prosecutorial incompetence, or because of something else. Assange, like anyone against whom allegations are made, has no responsibility to do anything other than protect himself against what he has called 'totally false allegations'.
He has done his part, he voluntarily went to the Swedish police and was interviewed by them. He was not arrested or charged at that point. He made himself available for an interview with the Prosecutor both in Sweden and after leaving.
The ball has always been in the Prosecutor's hands. Why she refuses to pursue this case in a professional manner, and has dragged it out for so long, making excuse after excuse, is the question the world would like her to explain.
