Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. "It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position," he told a colleague.The information released by the Guardian not only fits the legal definition of rape in Sweden, but it shows the man as a narcissistic sexual predator. Four acts of sexual assault were outlined in the hearings against Assange:
"I do not like the idea that Julian may be forced into a trial in the media. And I feel especially concerned that he will be presented with the evidence in his own language for the first time when reading the newspaper. I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing - trying to make Julian look bad
- That Assange "unlawfully coerced" Miss A by using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner.
- That he "sexually molested" Miss A by having sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used.
- That he "deliberately molested" Miss A "in a way designed to violate her sexual integrity".
- That he had sex with a second woman, Miss W, without a condom while she was asleep.
"Miss A's" account to police, which Assange disputes, stated that he began stroking her leg as they drank tea, before he pulled off her clothes and snapped a necklace that she was wearing. According to her statement she "tried to put on some articles of clothing as it was going too quickly and uncomfortably but Assange ripped them off again". Miss A told police that she didn't want to go any further "but that it was too late to stop Assange as she had gone along with it so far", and so she allowed him to undress her.
According to the statement, Miss A then realised he was trying to have unprotected sex with her. She told police that she had tried a number of times to reach for a condom but Assange had stopped her by holding her arms and pinning her legs. The statement records Miss A describing how Assange then released her arms and agreed to use a condom, but she told the police that at some stage Assange had "done something" with the condom that resulted in it becoming ripped, and ejaculated without withdrawing.
On the following morning, Saturday 14 August, Assange spoke at a seminar organised by Miss A. A second woman, Miss W, had contacted Miss A to ask if she could attend. Both women joined Assange, the co-ordinator of the Swedish WikiLeaks group, whom we will call "Harold", and a few others for lunch.
Assange left the lunch with Miss W. She told the police she and Assange had visited the place where she worked and had then gone to a cinema where they had moved to the back row. He had kissed her and put his hands inside her clothing, she said.
That evening, Miss A held a party at her flat. One of her friends, "Monica", later told police that during the party Miss A had told her about the ripped condom and unprotected sex. Another friend told police that during the evening Miss A told her she had had "the worst sex ever" with Assange: "Not only had it been the world's worst screw, it had also been violent."....On Sunday 15 August, Monica told police, Miss A told her that she thought Assange had torn the condom on purpose. According to Monica, Miss A said Assange was still staying in her flat but they were not having sex because he had "exceeded the limits of what she felt she could accept" and she did not feel safe.
The following day, Miss W phoned Assange and arranged to meet him late in the evening, according to her statement. The pair went back to her flat in Enkoping, near Stockholm. Miss W told police that though they started to have sex, Assange had not wanted to wear a condom, and she had moved away because she had not wanted unprotected sex. Assange had then lost interest, she said, and fallen asleep. However, during the night, they had both woken up and had sex at least once when "he agreed unwillingly to use a condom".
Early the next morning, Miss W told police, she had gone to buy breakfast before getting back into bed and falling asleep beside Assange. She had awoken to find him having sex with her, she said, but when she asked whether he was wearing a condom he said no. "According to her statement, she said: 'You better not have HIV' and he answered: 'Of course not,' " but "she couldn't be bothered to tell him one more time because she had been going on about the condom all night. She had never had unprotected sex before."Click here for the full story in the Guardian.
Just as with the "dating profile" uncovered last week, Assange seems more of a narcissistic egomaniac than a hero. Additionally, the moaning of his lawyers about the Swedish police leaks is the height of hypocrisy, that their client's life is devoted to publishing confidential material.

Wait, I don't get it. Rough sex and imaginary sex is now rape?!?!
How can you have your "sexual integrity" violated when you agree to have sex with strangers?
How can one have sex while asleep and not know it? Especially knowing that the dude likes it "violent"??
Something stinks and I am not talking about the women's smell.
I'm not a fan of Assange, but you know what? Most of these charges are complete bullshit. Only the sex while asleep is arguably assault, though even there the woman had already spread her legs for him. If what's described in these documents fits the definition of rape in Sweden, then Sweden is a feminist hellhole.
Women who are genuinely raped don't refer to it as "the world's worst screw" because they aren't trying to get pleasure from it in the first place! To call this rape is a slap in the face of actual victims.
Bad sex that you regret later is not sexual assault. Rough sex that breaks the condom is not sexual assault. If women want to be treated with dignity and respect in bed, they shouldn't throw themselves at obvious narcissistic assholes like Assange in the first place. What we have here is the deification of female whim and female id, where they aren't held responsible for their actions, and when their choices lead to the predictable outcome, they can have men locked up for having their own agendas and failing to please them in the way they expected.
That Assange "unlawfully coerced" Miss A by using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner.
Rough sex is not rape, and many women like it when the guy is dominant in bed.
That he "sexually molested" Miss A by having sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used.
If a woman wants a condom, but consents to sex anyway without one, it's not "sexual assault" under any reasonable term.
That he "deliberately molested" Miss A "in a way designed to violate her sexual integrity".
The woman was having sex with notorious bad boy she had barely even met. What "sexual integrity"?
