He apparently had sex with a woman without a condom despite her telling him to wear one, and also had condomless sex with another whilst she was sleeping.
The problem is, the original arrest warrant was dropped for a week before being reinstated (alarm bells), and one of the accusers wrote a (now deleted) blog post which said the best way to get revenge on a man was to claim he raped you (further alarm bells).
Nothing about this case is standard.
Also, @padraic: If it is so against Swedish law to extradite Assange to the US, why can't they give him a diplomatic assurance that it won't happen? He has said on numerous occassions that he would go to Sweden for questioning if such assurances were made.
