Julian Assange arrested by London Police.
The Register goes into more detail, including providing some much-needed context that CNN failed to provide.

So.

Well, Assange kept complaining that he never had his day in court. Now he's finally getting his day in court.
I find it amusing that one of the factors that played into the Ecuadorian Embassy evicting him is that he can't even maintain general cleanliness.
I kinda wish I had known about his personal habits when I wrote my fanfic about him and Azumanga Daioh.
Can't know everything about someone until you live with them, and even then you might not. That is why it is considered a public persona
Breaking news, 8 minutes old as I post this (and I haven't read it yet).

Reuters: Sweden says it is dropping Assange rape investigation
Which, for those who didn't read it, leaves him still wanted by the United States and now the Brits don't have to decide which extradition order gets priority.
Just another time that women's issues are ignored when there's a important man involved.
