STD fears sparked WikiLeaker sex case

The two Swedish women who accuse WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sexual misconduct were at first not seeking to bring charges against him. They just wanted to track him down and persuade him to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, according to several people in contact with his entourage at the time.

The women went to the police together after they failed to persuade Assange to go to a doctor after separate sexual encounters with him in August, according to these people, who include former close associates of Assange who have since fallen out with him.

The women had trouble finding Assange because he had turned off his cellphone out of concern his enemies might trace him, these sources said.

There seems to be much ado over this...and the women at first didn't want to go to the police. Very Strange.

1. Do they demand STD tests from all their one-night stands?

10. The subject line of your post is supposed to be the headline of the article.
See the rules at the top of the "Latest Breaking News" thread.

6. One of the women accusing him of rape is a radical feminist
Google "Anna Ardin", she even bragged about sleeping with Assange the day after.

11. Rather, she is a radical anti-feminist ....from what I've read ....
and recommended getting even with a lover by "getting him in trouble with the law."

Feminism: Anti-domination of anyone by anyone else

20. I've seen her blog. She's no feminist...
She's an attention-whore. If she'd been around 30 ago she would have been bragging about doing the deed with that ugly wanker from KISS and then crying her eyes out coz it was a one-off. Women like her are an insult to women who have been sexually assaulted and to any women with an ounce of self-esteem. Urgh...

8. So why did they erase their tweets about their wonderful time with him?
If this were true why did they change their story? What this is is more BS.

Women who make up "rape" accusations are doing their sisters no favors.

21. As I understand it -
the law says that consenting to protected sex does not give consent to unprotected sex. So the women allegedley consented to protected sex and they contend that he didn't use a condom or knew that it was broken and continued with the act without their consent.
