Thanks, I hadn't seen that article. He does sound horrible. And yet, I wonder why those women took so long to decide that they'd been raped. I have read that it's not uncommon. And I suppose that, being Wikileaks supporters, they didn't want to make a scene.
So yes, he does seem like a major asshole.
If this is as reported, I am not a lawyer but it sounds like he committed a crime, and he is most certainly a major asshole, among other things pushing the boundaries of what constitutes consent, then making the other party feel uncomfortable in their own home.
Then he blames the consequences on a global conspiracy. Probably part of the abuser personality, to evict himself from blame.
I was thinking, western intelligence has done a lot of sketchy things, usually in the form of coups, more recently with "enhanced interrogation" or eavesdropping... But I am not aware of any other case where people claim they falsely accused somebody of rape. Doesn't fit the profile.
