Some people have no shame, no fear of God, not even dread of karma. You know that saying "karma's a bitch" isn't so toothless as some may think.

I've got to think that there is something that will give people pause before they do or say things to others. I'm thinking today of the women who have come out to accuse Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks leader who is now rotting in a prison awaiting another hearing on his bail release and/or extradition, for various sex acts. Here's the rub--they're only sex acts and not crimes. From what I gather, there's been no sexual crime committed. What is becoming painstakingly obvious though is that these trumped up charges were levied for the sole purpose of hauling Assange in to prison to face other charges, like embarrassing the U.S., for one.

At any rate, it's not so much the ulterior motive for bringing Assange in that gets me, instead, it's the lack of moral compunction or even second thought given by these women that riles me up. In fact, I think these instances happen more often than not. Instances in which women will falsely accuse a bedmate of some sexual transgression once the act is over and the women feel some remorse or find some benefit for making some accusations. Now before people get their undies in a bunch, I'm of course not referring to the monsters who actually rape and abuse women. No--I'm strictly referring to those innocent men who fall victim to malicious accusations by some unbalanced, nut-job ex-lovers.

The women in the Assange case seem to fall into this camp.  After giving their coital acts some thought and talking it through with each other, they began alleging that although the sexual encounters started consensually, they became nonconsensual after the condom Assange was wearing broke and he failed to replace it. With both women, regardless of his failure to replace a broken condom, all sources suggest that the sexual activity continued. In fact, with one woman in particular, the lovemaking continued multiple times that night and into the next day. This same accuser, having had multiple encounters with Assange threw him a party, in his honor, the following evening. It wasn't until Assange left that woman's apartment and a few days had passed that the two women somehow connected and discussed the events, all occurring in August 2010, and then decided to file the reports.

To say that I'm suspicious here would be an understatement. Pages upon pages of articles have come forth describing the alleged acts and none of them show any indication that a rape occurred. In fact, the charges levied against Assange, those for unlawful coercion, two counts of molestation and one count of rape, all stem from these alleged sexual encounters with "broken condoms." It's clear that perhaps Assange has an issue with copulating with protection. Maybe it's his ammo, to break or cause to be break the condom halfway through the act. If that's his foible, then so be it. It nonetheless remains a woman's choice on whether or not she continues the act with him in an unprotected state. All sources indicate that the women continued the lovemaking and actually did so multiple times after the condom malfunctioned. To say that they objected after the fact renders their objections moot.

I, too, object to many of the men I've dated in the past, but that doesn't mean that I have any right now to go back and accuse any  one of them for acts that did not occur, let alone try to press charges against them in exchange for some monetary or other gain--but maybe that's because I have both the fear of God and karma operating in me.
