If he was innocent why didn't he go back to Sweden and face the charges?
All the stuff about the risk of US extraditing him in nonsense, they'd find it easier to do from the UK.
All he did is use political asylum to avoid facing charges of a sexual assault.
As for the 'if he was innocent', I see this argument quite often, and I have only this to say: his self-imposed punishment of being locked up in a closet for 5 years is worse than any possible punishment he would have received for the crime he was accused of. So tell me, if he was only looking to avoid punishment for the crime he commited, why did he impose an even worse punishment on himself?
(and perhaps he figured it would come to exile in an embassy, or for so long)
Thank you for your help in getting president Donald Trump elected.

All they did was use sexual assault charges in order to force him into political asylum.
