    Gemma Lindfield, for the Swedish prosecutors, said the first involved complainant A, who said she was the victim of "unlawful coercion" on the night of 14 August in Stockholm. The court heard Assange is accused of using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner.

    The second charge alleged Assange "sexually molested" Miss A by having sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used.

    No details were given about the strength of evidence, with Lindfield saying it "is not a factor in relation to bail".

    UK judge denies bail, explaining:

    "The nature and strength of the evidence is not there, this is normal at this stage in proceedings."
