http://www.thelocal.se/28496/20100821/A warrant has been put out for the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is wanted on suspicion of rape, according to Swedish media reports.
Prosecutor Marie Häljebo confirmed that a warrant was issued on Friday evening and that the level of suspicion against Assange was the highest in the Swedish legal system, newspaper Expressen reports.
A source close to the case told Expressen that two women in their twenties went to the police in Stockholm on Friday to explain what had happened when they met Assange earlier in the week.
Both were terrified and neither of the women wished to file an official report, according to Expressen's source.
"The girls know each and they know that the same thing has happened to both of them," a person close to the women told the newspaper.
More information soon.
