Crikey.com reports: Anna Ardin (annaardin) Revealed: Assange ‘rape’ accuser linked to notorious CIA operative. By David EdwardsMonday, December 6, 2010 15:43 EDT One of the women accusing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex crimes appears to have worked with a group that has connections to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
James D. Catlin, a lawyer who recently represented Assange, said the sex assault investigation into the WikiLeaks founder is based on claims he didn’t use condoms during sex with two Swedish women. Swedish prosecutors told AOL News last week that Assange was not wanted for rape as has been reported, but for something called “sex by surprise” or “unexpected sex.”
