Sweden's highest court has thrown out Julian Assange's appeal against his arrest warrant where he is wanted for questioning. Prosecutor Marianne Ny changed her mind earlier about questioning Assange in London. Assange has repeatedly requested that the questioning take place over the phone or in London as per common practice, to avoid traveling to Sweden where he fears he risks extradition to the US. Sweden has also repeatedly refused to give assurances regarding possible extradition.

Yeah, "I read it somewhere on the Internet" is generally NOT a good argument to hang your hat on. The only thing that matters is what does SWEDISH law say, not what you think sounds reasonable.
Besides, I'm well aware Assange can walk on water, cure the blind, etc. (I'm pretty sure he's said so), so it most definitely couldn't be rape.

Yeah - except both women consented to interviews, and both women are quoted as making the statements. Try some European news sources, and don't limit yourself to US MSM.
