So thos 'rape' investigation/charges/trial, after so many years is gonna hinged on whether the woman involved SW, was 'helpless' or not when sex was initiated by Assange. That is, was she completely asleep, half-asleep, or awake, or almost in all three states on and off. That this is regularly called 'rape' in our media, is ridiculous. As she initially didn't want to even sign the statement about Assange's alleged actions and has refused to term what happened as 'rape' and all this happened years and years ago and how on earth would one ever prove SW was fully asleep and therefore 'helpless', is beyond me. So Assange has to prove that when he started the sexual activity, he had made sure his sexual partner was fully awake and could, therefore, give her consent, and if he didn't do this, then he's guilty of 'rape'; seems to be stretching the definition of 'rape' way beyond what most people would accept.
