WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is set to be cleared of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion charges as the Swedish prosecutors have failed to question him before the deadline.

Swedish Prosecution Authority, Åklagarmyndigheten, said it was very unlikely Julian Assange would be questioned before the Thursday deadline regarding some of the sexual assault charges before the charges expire under Swedish law, according to The Local Sweden. 

"Nobody has booked a flight to London. The assistant prosecutor travelled to London in June waiting for permission from Ecuador but she never got the permission, so she went back to Sweden again," Karin Rosander of Åklagarmyndigheten told The Local.

A lawyer representing the alleged victim said that his client is no longer interested going to court now and trying to forget about it. "She had wanted him to stand before the court and answer the accusations, but it's five years ago and she's not interested in going to court now," the alleged victim's lawyer, Claes Borgstrom, told the BBC. "She wants to put it all behind her. It's been a difficult time for her and she's now trying to forget about it and move on with her life."

The sexual molestation and another unlawful coercion charges have a five-year limit under Swedish law. Assange, however, faces the more serious allegation of rape, which will expire in 2020.

The WikiLeaks editor, living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has never been charged and denies the allegations.  

Assange's spokesman, however, demanded dropping the rape case as well. "It's quite obvious that the Swedish authorities waited all these years. He doesn't have to clear his name. He has been asking to be interviewed in London for five years - he has asked for this to be moved forward," the spokesperson told The Times, according to News Daily.
