Yeah... that's been going around for a few days, though the source on that originally as I recall was Assange's Lawyer. I've also been hearing the opposite. Sex by Surprise, if I've read correctly, is a €750 fine on conviction, at most. If that's the case that's a bit like issuing a Red Notice over a hefty unpaid speeding ticket It's interesting to note that the Red Notice merely said "Sex Crimes", without elaborating the exact nature of the crime. It certainly more emotionally charged than a more detailed description. But I'm still taking that all with a grain of salt.
Sweden doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US for espionage, however. It might just be someone in the United States stalling for time to actually bring espionage charges against Assange, something for which the British courts will extradite him the the US... especially if the Swedes drop their extradition request. That'll take priority over any United States extradition request since it got in first.
