> Assange was basically, from his POV, defending his future freedom and poasibly his life, and still is.

And I suspect, his reputation/good name. If he'd gone to trial, and lost, he'd be called a "convicted rapist" for the rest of his life.

And so he should, after all at that point he would be a convicted rapist, no?

True. How very noble of him. Did not want to see his reputation challenged, so refused to deal with consequences of his actions...
