Julian Assange Accepts Plea Deal to Avoid US Prison Time and Possibly Return to Australia
Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has accepted a plea deal with the US government to plead guilty to one charge of espionage. This agreement allows him to avoid prison time in the United States and potentially return to Australia. Assange has been released from a British prison and flown out of the UK, likely receiving credit for time already served. This significant moment marks the end of a long legal ordeal that began when he sought asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in 2012.
