Charlie Sheen vs. Julian Assange

There seems to be a new way to accuse celebrities of sexual assaults: make the claims through the media. Ask actor Charlie Sheen or Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Adult film actress Capri Anderson told Good Morning America on Monday that she planned to file a criminal and civil complaint against the star of Two And A Half Men for assault and false imprisonment. It stems from a rowdy night in a New York City hotel, a fairly common occurrence where Sheen is concerned.

So far, at least, no international warrant has been issued for his arrest. Of course Anderson actually hasn't filed her complaint so leaking it to the media was putting the cart before the horse a bit.

But Sheen is having to defend himself. He already is the laughing stock of such shows as Craig Ferguson, who often warns Sheen to put the hooker back in the closet. Sheen already has a history of allegations of domestic violence.

Now, Assange may or may not have the entire force of Interpol looking for him but much of the media has abandoned coverage of the alleged war crimes he has uncovered.

Swedish prosecutors insist they need him arrested to question him on allegations of rape and sexual molestation allegedly committed in the third week of August. Whether Assange offered to be questioned or not at the time as he and his lawyers claim, he definitely was in Sweden for more than a month after the allegations were leaked to a tabloid Aug. 21.

Prosecutors have yet to explain why they didn't swoop down on him, turn on the Gestapo lights and give him the third degree. At least they could have brought him in and questioned him.

Even now it remains clear that if an international arrest warrant has been issued, why hasn't he been picked up. His lawyers say that could take two weeks because of paperwork and an appeal of the warrant itself.

For me, choosing between who to take it on the lam with would be easy. Sheen would go to Aspen; Assange to Iceland.
