The Pervert is Nabbed.

“WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is appearing before magistrates in London after he was arrested by British police over sexual assault claims made in Sweden.

The elusive 39-year-old Australian was earlier detained by Scotland Yard officers after he voluntarily went to a police station in central London.
Police contacted Mr Assange’s lawyer last night after receiving a fresh European arrest warrant from Swedish authorities, as anger grows in the US over the latest leaked embassy cables by the whistleblowing website.

Labelling the move as a “political stunt”, Mr Assange’s solicitor Mark Stephens said his client wants to find out what allegations he faces so he can clear his name.

Mr Stephens has warned any attempt to extradite Mr Assange will be resisted, “mainly on the grounds that he may be handed over to the Americans”.
Two women in Sweden have claimed they were sexually attacked in separate incidents when Mr Assange visited the country in August.

This of course is all preliminary. Once in custody Assange isn’t likely to see daylight for a while. This is an excellent opportunity for the US to file espionage charges against Assange and work towards extradition. Other countries may follow suit.

However from the news reports it would seem that the Swedes have a good case of sexual assault against Assange. They are known for their staunch prosecution of such crimes.
