Swedish law differentiates between three types of rape: "severe rape", "regular rape", and "less severe rape". Julian Assange would have been charged with two counts of less severe rape, which would involve sexual intercourse without consent or violence.
Julian Assange therefore would be face a sentence of 4 years in jail, maximum.
