Scenario 16: Some women get paid to make eyes at Assange, he falls for it, they have sex, they go and accuse him of rape.
Then hope he pulls a Clinton and ends up having to define the meaning of 'is'.
If I was Julian Assange at this point I'd blow the whole thing wide open and document each and every little bit of what happened if anything, even if it makes him look less saintly. That's the best defense against a smear campaign, if anything at all happened he'll look a lot worse if he tries to cover it up.
And he may have to step down from Wikileaks pending the investigation, which is another easy win for the opposition, it would be the prudent thing to do.
