From what I've read so far, it boils down to this: the two women in question only accuse him of not using a condom when allegedly they only consented to sex with a condom. There was no "forcing them to sexual actions" involved, as the sex was allegedly consensual. At least, that's what has been reported so far.<p>"Rape" may technically be the correct term under Swedish law, despite being used all over the world under vastly different meanings.<p>Alas, similar to, by now, nearly everything having to do with Wikileaks, how people view this is vastly dependant on their personal opinions about Julian Assange and the ethics of what Wikileaks does in general. This has nothing to do with 'criminal justice' anymore, it's just a farce (going both ways).<p>Edit: Also, this is NOT an international arrest warrant. According to Interpol itself, it is a "red notice", calling for help in identifying and apprehending Mr Assange, not an arrest warrant.
