It looks like sweden is pursuing rape charges against him now, the uk has prosecuted him and now jailed him for jumping bail. But when he was pulled out of that embassy last month, he was charged in the United States with a computer hacking charge. He was specifically charged for helping a u. S.

Now, the u. S. Laid that charge against Julian Assange. They said they wanted to bring assange to trial on that charge here in the United States
