The founder and editor of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been charged in Sweden with rape and molestation, a spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutor's office told CNN Saturday.
Spokeswoman Karin Rosander said the charges were filed Friday night, but she didn't have further details.
Assange was in Sweden last weekend, but Rosander said it's not clear whether he is still in the country. She said police have been unable so far to make contact with Assange.
In a posting Saturday on its Twitter page, WikiLeaks wrote, "No one here has been contacted by Swedish police. Needless to say this will prove hugely distracting."
