Here is my theory: Assange tours Sweden, meets loads of female journalists. Sleeps with some of them. Does something during the act which the women don't like (but don't really think too much about). The women come into contact a week later in their work. They share details and blow whatever happened out of proportion. They go to the police and then tip off the tabloid they both work for. Prosecutor realize whatever happened can't be charged as rape or molestation.


That is the precisely the type of "no smoke without fire" thinking that those who consider Wikileaks a gadfly will be delighted to see stick.


It would be interesting if CIA managed to send in one of their young sexy female agents to pose as a journalist, sleep with Julian and then cry rape so charges can be filed and he can be discredited.

As an interesting aside. KGB back in the 40-50 used sometimes use their female agents to set up honey pot operations. They would entrap foreign diplomats or nationals, then under threat of blowing their cover, try to get them to collaborate.
