> He was on bail facing extradition for rape and sexual molestation charges

Just to be precise the actual charge is that he was accused of having sex without a condom without telling his partner.

From Wikipedia.

> On 18 November 2010, Marianne Ny ordered the detention of Julian Assange on suspicion of rape, three cases of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.

Are you saying that that's not true? I don't speak Swedish so I can't go back to the actual documentation to check myself.

This is correct, it's just that Swedish law considers "having sex without a condom without telling his partner" as rape.
