"Yes, but you need to defend yourself in a tribunal (in a civil and democratic country, and Sweden looks to be one), not escaping away trying to avoid the trial".
Assange delayed his departure from Sweden for several weeks for exactly that reason. He did not fly to the UK until the original prosecutor had interviewed him and told him no charges would be brought.
It is astounding and quite unprecedented, when the alleged "victims" are on public record as having acknowledged that they do not believe any crime was committed and that they do not wish a prosecution to take place, and when the prosecutor has interviewed the accused and publicly announced that there is no evidence and so they are not bringing charges, for a different prosecutor suddenly to pop up and act as if none of that had ever happened.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
