Assange: Why I won't go to Sweden

(snip)

"I was (in Sweden) for some five weeks after these initial allegations were made. They were dropped within 24 hours of them first being made," he said. "The most senior prosecutor in Stockholm reviewed them and they were dropped. Then politician Claes Borgstrom became involved, other forces became involved and the case, the investigative part of the case, was taken up again.

Assange said he believed the most probable explanation for the rape allegations was that two women "found out that they were mutual lovers of mine and they had unprotected sex and they got into a tizzy about whether there was a possibility of sexually transmitted diseases."

It was a "ridiculous thing to go to the police about," he added.

Of his accusers, he added: "I have also never criticized these women. We don't know precisely what pressures they have been under, exactly. There are powerful interests that have incentives to promote these smears. That doesn't mean that they got in there in the very beginning and fabricated them."

Asked about his seeming reluctance to acknowledge the seriousness of the rape charges, he said: "If they want to charge me, they can charge me. They have decided not to charge me."
