One of the two women, an expert on the law on sexual offences through her work, sought out contact with Assange (who she did not know) before he arrived in Sweden. This is evidenced in cached tweets that she sent at the time, now removed - presumably by herself. For instance she heard that Assange would be attending a private crayfish party and sought to get an invitation to it.
To actively seek out contact with someone, and then to engineer an accusation against them says only one thing to me. I say engineer, because there was never a direct accusation made by the woman, but it was reported to the police in such a way that they would have to act.
The cause of the desire for 'revenge' is murkier. But there are several scenarios that do not involve the CIA, the Pentagon or any other sinister organizations. You can't be me, I'm taken

The more the evidence rolls in the more it looks like a classic "Honey Trap."

Hope you're anchoring the shelving properly. Remember they will have to hold 10,000 books when the ET Refuges move in.

One's conclusions depends on one's paranoia index?
And how allergic one is to tinfoil.
Me, I'm perfectly willing to ascribe mendaciousness to the police and the press - but I find coordination with the Americans hard to believe. For one thing, it's not necessary. Every back-scratching little wannabe-Quisling on the continent knows that Assange is a high-profile pain in the US' ass. For another thing, you can't keep that sort of operation a secret in Sweden... as the MPAA learned to their misfortune when they went after TPB.

This kind of thing needs a couple of people talking to a couple of people in the right place(s).
We're not going to know who, what, when,and why for a couple of months ... if ever.
