From the police evidence. Having followed this from the beginning, AND written about it right here on DU as it was happening, the comments of the women and Assange to the police were always available.
Not to mention the women's own comments to others and text messages, all of which were online, although some of them were scrubbed after the Right Wing Tabloids began twisting the evidence into rape allegations. A reprehensible thing to do to the women, and the reason why one of them stopped cooperating with the police. Because she was totally distraught, and the witness testimony supports her own words, that they had turned her questions in 'rape'. I very much sympathized with her at the time. Her brother also testified to how distraught she was over the allegations that were falsely attributed to her.
You may not know, because you apparently have not followed the case. Please do not assume what the rest of us know. It implies that people are lying, or making stuff up.
