The woman whose case is now time-barred have mixed feelings for the day, said her lawyer to Radio Sweden .

He was questioned by Swedish police and the allegations of rape were dismissed, but only a week later resumed the investigation of a new prosecutor in November asked that Assange be arrested.
By then, Assange traveled to Britain where he was arrested by British police in December.
fled to Ecuador’s embassy in London
In the summer of 2012, searched Assange asylum in Ecuador’s embassy in London when the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom had decided that he should be extradited to Sweden.
Assange has always denied his guilt and he has accused the Swedish authorities for political motives because he was afraid that the US wanted have him extradited from Sweden.
His legal representative in Sweden has demanded that the investigation is closed.
We have always said that this investigation should be closed down long ago on account investigative mode. And it is regrettable that it would have to go so long that we needed to wait for the limitation of some of the works, said lawyer Thomas Olsson Eco editorial staff.
