Julian Assange of WikiLeaks Accused of Rape
Julian Assange, the editor in chief of whistleblower Web site WikiLeaks, has been accused of committing rape in Sweden, a charge that the former computer hacker believes is the handiwork of powerful people or organizations that want to silence him.
A colleague of Assange, Kristinn Hrafnsson, said the 39-year-old Internet activist was in Sweden and would promptly go to police to face the accusations and clear his name. Hrafnsson said the charge against Assange may be part of a bigger plan to destroy the credibility of WikiLeaks. “There are powerful organizations who want to do harm to WikiLeaks,” she said.
