Rape charges reinstated against Wikileaks founder

The case was dropped by a Stockholm prosecutor last week who said there was nothing suggesting Assange had raped a Swedish woman who reported him to police.

Ny also said that another complaint against Assange should be investigated on suspicion of “sexual coercion and sexual molestation.”
