There's a conspiracy theory which argues that the charges against Assange in Sweden (when they're brought down) have been ginned up, and that his accusers were consenting at the time, only later coming forward. The argument also includes a misapprehension about what the charges consist of: taking the misstatement by AOL news that the charges are "rape by surprise" for failing to wear a condom at face value.

In reality, of course, he's being accused of acts (and investigated for acts) which would be rape in any civilized country I know of: sex with a woman who was not conscious to consent, for instance, is certainly a surprise to the woman, but it's simply rape.

There are four allegations as set out in box (e) of the warrant:

On 13th – 14th August 2010, in the home of the injured party [name given] in Stockholm, Assange, by using violence, forced the injured party to endure his restricting her freedom of movement. The violence consisted in a firm hold of the injured party’s arms and a forceful spreading of her legs whilst lying on top of her and with his body weight preventing her from moving or shifting.
On 13th – 14th August 2010, in the home of the injured party [name given] in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity. Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her without her knowledge.
On 18th August 2010 or on any of the days before or after that date, in the home of the injured party [name given] in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity i.e. lying next to her and pressing his naked, erect penis to her body.
On 17th August 2010, in the home of the injured party [name given] in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state. It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party’s sexual integrity. The framework list is ticked for “Rape”. This is a reference to an allegation 4. The other three allegations are described in box (e) II using the same wording as set out above. (emphasis added)

It's also worth noting that all of the "she wanted to screw him, then discovered he had other women, and now wants to punish him" narrative (if substantiated) would help to prove consent in a court of law. That's how the justice system works.
