On that subject we agree. He had other unrelated charges in Sweden. It appears they are through with their investigation and evidently nothing remains of those charges.
It is possible the charges from Sweden were brought about to silence him about other things.
Guess, we will soon see how it plays out.

The original charges came up from two Swede ladies. In this ‘hiding-around’ Europe period, Julian had various groups who were sponsoring him and providing bed-space. For some reason, single women were often the ones harboring Julian, and I think over time...he’d developed this ‘James Bond-like’ character which charmed women. The general rule in Sweden for sex to occur...you need consent. Woman #1 had some idea that poor Julian wasn’t getting ‘it’...but she didn’t want to be seen as a loose woman. After that evening, Julian moved on in the community (same town) to woman #2, and she demanded consent rules and that he hadn’t slept around. Julian fibbed on that, and woman #2 found out about woman #1. They both go off to the city prosecutor and the rest is history.
Personally, if he’d just stayed there and gone through the court action, I doubt that he would have done more than six to ten months of jail time. Instead, he’s been in this embassy hiding out for six-plus years.
