The Telegraph: Julian Assange set to be cleared as sex allegations expire
Claims made in Sweden against the Wikileaks founder will reach their five year expiry date next week.
Julian Assange is expected to be cleared of three sexual assault claims next week after spending so long in hiding in Britain that the allegations have expired, it has emerged.
The Wikileaks founder has been seeking refuge at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for more than three years at a cost to the taxpayer of around £12 million.
He is avoiding extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over the alleged crimes, which include violent sexual assault.
WNU Editor: Julian Assange is still in a bind. The rape allegation and charge is something that he cannot avoid right now .... and that charge will only expire in 2020.
