I'm disinclined to pass judgement on Assange's accusers either way, given that there is an enormous incentive for very large camps to both demonise both them and him. I would be very wary of falling into any trap of blaming the victim here, though of course one should not presume Assange's guilt either. We'll see what comes out in the courts.
And of course the timing is awfully convienent, but that doesn't make him innocent. Of course, whether or not Assange is a rapist (or "terrorist", or the various other things he's been accused of) really doesn't have a lot to do with the moral standing of Wikileaks itself, but good luck reminding people of that.
