(3,317 posts)and yes, you can apply US law to these incidents, because rape laws are basically everywhere the same. The Swedish rape paragraph differs in some finer points from other penal codes, but these have no relevance here whatsoever.
Allegation 1: She closes her legs and grasps for a condom while they lie on top of each other ("his bodyweight pressing down on her" . When he asks what the trouble is she tells him put the condom on , he complies. Later the condom breaks (says she, he allegedly never notices a thing, nor did she ever talk to him about it). She believes he somehow broke the condom deliberately. Not rape.
Allegation 2: They sleep together several times throughout the night, with condom. In the early morning, while she is still "drowsy" or "half-asleep" (her own words), he initiates sexual intercourse without a condom on. She allegedly doesn't notice this at first, expresses concern when she does (doesn't want babies, doesn't want AIDS), but then continues with the shagging nevertheless. Gets breakfeast afterwards, lends him some money, everything is fine and dandy until Assange never calls again. She still doesn't allege she was raped, but the lawyer and the prosecutor currently in charge think the matter should be "investigated" further, anyway.
So, please, show us one, a single case, anywhere in the world, where concern over a broken condom or lack of one has led to RAPE investigations. Thanks.
