The linked post makes a good point — it's unlikely that there would be sufficient legal evidence to convict Assange if his were an ordinary case. But the question of whether Assange actually raped anyone is different. A man not being convicted of rape is not as strong evidence of his moral innocence as we'd like.

A datum relevant to the latter question would be the proportion of rape accusations in Sweden that are true.
