Is the WikiLeaks founder really a rapist?

Two women in Stockholm, Sweden accused Julian Assange, the editor of WikiLeaks, of rape and molestation in August 2010. Assange denied the claims. Because he was in hiding, prosecutors were not able to question him and thus issued a warrant for his arrest. Later, they dropped the charge because the case lacked credibility. Assange has said the charges were part of a smear campaign in retaliation for his involvement with WikiLeaks. See related link for an article.
