The point of a trial or legal review (Sweden's system is different from ours) is to see if the charges can be proved. If they can't be, he has no reason to continue to evade prosecution. So why are you making excuses for him?
All cases of sexual assault depend on the victims vs. the alleged assailants views. Your comment above would suggest none be prosecuted. In the case of Assange, there are multiple women who report having been violated by him in similar situations. He appears to be a repeat sexual assailant, as many are.
I'm wondering how you even think the condom story would have played out? Do you realize CONSENT is required to have sex with another person? The woman was asleep--passed out--and he violated her. Two women are complainants telling similar stories of assaults that took place on separate occasions. Women do not exist in an automatic state of consent. A man must seek consent before sex. To fail to do so is crime.
