Julian Assange will no longer be investigated for sexual assault and unlawful coercion allegations against him after Swedish prosecutors ran out of time to bring charges, while a separate allegation of sexual molestation will run out on August 18. However, the WikiLeaks founder will still be investigated over an allegation of rape made in 2010 against him as the alleged offense carries a ten-year statute of limitations and expires in 2020. Assange has been living at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning. We look at the story on the Lip News with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
