I agree, that if Assange is a criminal, then he should be prosecuted and punished according to the law. But in the same time these accusations seem to come in a very convenient time, right after these huge leaks. At this moment I'm feeling very reserved about these accusations.
I know a hero in the public can be a total villain in his personal life or vice versa. But I guess I'm just hoping that Assange is the rebellious-genius-in-the-shining-armor he appears to be and I would hate to see these important issues be muddied by something as horrific as rape.
And even if he is guilty, he has changed the transparency game entirely. There is no returning to the time before these kind of websites and leaks.
