(CNN) -- WikiLeaks editor and founder Julian Assange voluntarily turned himself in Tuesday to authorities in London, after an arrest warrant was issued for him in Sweden on charges of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.
Now that he's in custody, what's next?
Sweden wants to try him on the sex charges, which stem from allegations from two women. Elsewhere, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said he has authorized "significant" actions related to a criminal investigation of WikiLeaks. But what will come first? CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin attempts to untangle Assange's legal travails.
Seeing as it is Sweden who have filed charges, his crime is probably that he engaged in heterosexual sex. rofllol
Personally, it won't bother me if Assange receives everything the Swedish government--and his fellow inmates--can throw at him. He's arrogant, vile and has taken his original intent way too far; to the point of hurting innocent people.
But there are plenty more Assange's out there...iTerrorists intent on causing as much havoc and destruction as they can. Unlike Al Qaeda-type terrorists, the Internet variety isn’t necessarily driven by ideologies. It’s a big game of global hacker to them and every entity with encryption and a firewall is a potential target.
Unfortunately, Assange and his cronies are propagating an unintended response: governments will now start to look for new ways to censor and control the internet. And that will be costly to all of us in many ways. Our own FCC now has more ammunition for their planned power grab that will impact every website on the net, including this one.
