WIKILEAKS chief Julian Assange should not be extradited to Sweden over sex charges as what he did is not illegal in Britain, his lawyers said yesterday.
His legal team told the High Court that the four rape and molestation accusations would be classed as consensual here.
The London court heard that one woman, identified only as SW, said she woke to find he was having unprotected sex with her.

Assange, 40, is also accused of molestation after being “rough and impatient” during sex with another woman. She says he tried to have unprotected sex and raped her while she was half-asleep.
Australian Assange met the women, volunteers for his whistleblowing website, on a lecture tour in Sweden last year.
He was in court after losing an extradition order appeal in February. The case continues.
