Assange hits out at reports detailing sex assault claims

The WikiLeaks founder gives his first full interviews, and lashes out at "leaks" detailing sex assault claims

By News Desk

Julian Assange has lashed out at The Guardian newspaper for "selectively publishing" details of the police report in which two women accuse the WikiLeaks founder of rape.


In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, published Tuesday, Assange also said he believed that someone leaked the Swedish police report detailing his alleged sexual offenses, and timed it to coincide with his bail application.

Assange spent nine days in jail in London on an extradition request by Sweden. He was released on bail with strict conditions and is staying at a mansion in Norfolk outside of London.

The Guardian is one of several publications that has partnered with WikiLeaks in editing and publishing secret U.S. diplomatic files, in exchange for early access to them.
