Julian Assange is a free man, after a US federal judge sentenced him to time already served in prison.
Mr Assange pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy. Mr Assange had already served five-years in a British jail before a plea deal was struck.
Chief Judge Ramona Manglona said had Mr Assange faced court in 2012, she would not be inclined to accept the deal.
But with the passage of time, she accepted there had been no physical injury as a result of his actions, and he had already served five-years in one of the UK’s harshest prisons.
