Sweden takes sexual assault seriously, and you clearly do not know the facts in the case.

Clearly you have not read the legal document in the case or you would not continue to repeat his bullshit. Those documents have been posted all over this site. There is no excuse to continue to repeat patently false information.4

Sexual assault is not a joke. The law does not simply apply to those you happen to dislike. Even men you revere are required to seek consent before sex--even when their victim is a lowly woman. Rapists always have people who think they are too good to be charged. That is how generations of rapists were protected in Steubenville until a video tape made it impossible to continue to cover up, and even then most haven't and won't be prosecuted. A woman will always be worth less in this society and an accused rapist will always have his supporters. That is why 25% of women are raped in their lifetimes while very few assailants every see jail. Their defenders make sure of it by making clear that men--rapists--are seen as more value than their victims. People make excuses for why Assange shouldn't have to face the law, just like people in Steubenville did. That is one of the ways that women are denied equality under the law. Sweden is trying to change that by taking sexual assault seriously.
