'I prefer virgins'

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told a woman he "preferred first timers as he liked to impregnate them first", a court heard yesterday

A woman who claims she was raped by Julian Assange joked about being pregnant and what they would name the baby shortly after the alleged offence, a court has been told.

The museum worker claimed, "He said things, like he wanted to get women pregnant. He said he preferred virgins because it meant he would be the first to impregnate them."

to support him outside the High Court in London yesterday.

claimed that the accusations of rape were false

The woman known only as SW woke to find Assange having unprotected sex with her, the High Court heard.

They are said to have had sex three times the previous night but SW had insisted it was a condition that they used protection.

Assange is on bail as he appeals against a ruling to have him extradited to Sweden to face charges of raping SW and another woman called AA.

He ripped off press secretary AA's clothes, broke her necklace and lay on top of her holding her arms before they had sex, the court was told.

Assange's lawyer Ben Emmerson told the court that after sex, the woman joked about the prospect of
becoming pregnant, telling Assange that he would have to pay her student loans.

"They joked about what they would call the child," he told courts.

Assange says both women consented to sex and claims the extradition bid is politically motivated. The hearing continued yesterday.
