A Swedish prosecutor announced Tuesday that her office is ending a years-long investigation into a 2010 rape allegation against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is currently being held in a British prison as he battles the U.S. government’s effort to extradite him. In a statement, Swedish deputy director of public prosecutions Eva-Marie Persson explained the decision to end the investigation. “I would like to emphasize that the injured party has submitted a credible and reliable version of events,” Persson said. “Her statements have been coherent, extensive, and detailed; however, my overall assessment is that the evidential situation has been weakened to such an extent that that there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation.”
