Australia Espionage scandal: Julian Assange pleads guilty in US court

Following his release from British custody, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has pleaded guilty to one charge in a US court in connection with espionage allegations. The "Washington Post" and the British "Guardian" reported unanimously on Wednesday (local time) from the courtroom on the Mariana Island of Saipan, a US foreign territory in the Western Pacific. Assange had previously struck a deal with the US judiciary and is to be released in return for pleading guilty after having already served his sentence.
