Introduction
One may fail to understand the reason and consequently the causes to the occurrence of some events. Sometimes it’s not only the ordinary people that are in the dark, even the most important figures that are seen as the role models to the society happen to be in the dark about some things. The whole community craves to know why some people they really trust and depend on sometimes perform some abhorring acts.
At most times, we look at our leaders, role models, our elders, our parents and other people for direction. It is fascinating that in life we live to achieve from the same standard that violates our lives. The worst part of it is the fatality of a woman’s image when violated sexually. This paper seeks to highlight the pains of a violated woman and the rage of the truth seekers from an important figure in the US government.
Definition and Forms of Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is any sexual action that is related to an individual who is not willing and who is not under the influence of some effects that drives the doer to the awful action. These effects can be a result of drugs, alcohol and some incapacitation authority over some beings. According to the U.S Department of the Health and Human services, ‘Sexual assault occurs in various forms. It can be vocal, illustrated or anything that forces an individual to take part in a discarded sexual interaction or attention.
To some extent, according to the above clarification, sexual assault can be termed as rape. The various forms are experienced through unnecessary sexual touch, unwelcome disclosure of another’s body or child sexual attempt. (Marcotte, 25).However, the victims tend to face more danger due to lack of trust from their assailant and those who tend to be friendly when offering services. They experience emotional turmoil and they also look withdrawn.
Julian Assange: Motives Behind False Accusations
This happened to a great U.S. citizen, Julian Assange. The community’s quest to get an answer, is he really a traitor or a hero? (Genius, 56)
However, Julian Assange’s story has a number of objectives which overwhelms the mind of every reader and any research unit involved to his case and the victims mentioned. The story is based on sexual assaults and how to handle such kinds of cases. The other intentions for putting writing the story may be because the author had negative intentions.
For example, he may have wanted to tarnish his name, the victims’ name, or to destroy the moral image of a state because of the citizen involved. More so, it can be used to activate the duties of the press as a social working group and to add value to their working reputation.
In this article, the writer is spoiling the victim’s name and tarnishing his reputation. One such incident is that of Anna Ardin, a Christian female activist who filed charges on Julian Assange on rape case. Part of the press reported that she was raped by Julian, but other sources of information from the press have a different version of they same story. They claim that Anna is only accusing Julian to gain revenge for an unfaithful relationship and for dumping her.
Another story claims that she was raped and she is hiding the truth because of her position in the society; she is a social democrat and a Christian. Thus, Julian appears innocent. None of the articles give clear information about his story as one who has sexually abused somebody. All his theories have proofs to convince any reader on Julian’s story.
In other words, most of the stories about Julian allude that rape is not involved. Another article claims that, one of the accusers of Julian is still in Sweden while his case is still underway. One coordinator of a religious group denied vehemently reports and claims that he had proof that the founder had left Sweden and traveled to a town in Palestine (Gentleman, 56). As a result of this, the information people and media provide about Julian Asange is mostly conflicting.
The information posted can either be there for publicity to tarnish his image. Julian Assange might be having enemies and competitors all around him and all they need to do are to find a way to take him down. They do this using any available means, which at the moment is giving out the wrong information about a rape case going through the media. After the investigations, much information obtained about the rape case mostly clashes with what they already have about the rape case.
The data collected portrays Julian as innocent; this implies that his enemies are trying to use the tribulations of Julian to take him down. What was done perfectly was the fact that all his cases were dwelling on true facts to disapprove his enemies. No information could be enhanced because all the information collected was edited and proved to be right to his competitors. Even though, the media should dwell on investigative information rather than building its stories on rumors.
I got interested on the written article because I happen to be a curious journalist. The research was so much valuable to the sample cases relating to Assange’s case and helpful to the law authorities. All the sources were decent and clear despite the fact that the story was obtained illegally. Therefore the media should report the investigated facts and dwell on it with the same vigor so as to restore his reputation. He should be compensated and charges to be filed on accusers involved in tarnishing his name.
