Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, was arrested Thursday in London on a single conspiracy charge from United States prosecutors shortly after being arrested and found guilty on unrelated charges from a Swedish rape case that is no longer under investigation.

The arrests came after the 47-year-old computer programmer’s diplomatic immunity status had been terminated at the Ecuadorian embassy. Assange had been holed up in residence there for nearly seven years amid growing dissatisfaction from Ecuadorian and British leaders, and his dismissal now exposes him to U.S. extradition.

Video footage of his arrest showed a ragged Assange struggling against British police as they guided him into a van.

“I told you so,” he said from his jail cell, attorney Jennifer Robinson told reporters.

Assange pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of having breached his bail conditions in the Swedish rape case. Although one of his lawyers argued that he had a “reasonable excuse” for doing so, Assange would not produce evidence for why he failed to surrender to custody. Magistrates’ Court District Judge Michael Snow quickly found him guilty, saying his behavior was that “of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest.”

He is expected to remain in custody until his May 2 extradition hearing.

Robinson says her team will fight the extradition, arguing that it would set a “dangerous precedent” for journalists who publish “truthful information about the United States,” the BBC reported. Key to the legal debate surrounding Assange is whether he can be considered a journalist, protected by First Amendment rights.

According to newly unsealed filings from the U.S. Department of Justice, Assange was indicted in March 2018 on a federal charge of conspiracy “to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break a password to a classified U.S. government computer,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia. The indictment claims he took part in a conspiracy with former military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.

If convicted, Assange faces up to five years in prison on the charge. CNN reported that he likely faces additional charges from American authorities, but a Justice Department representative stated there will be no further updates released Thursday.

President Donald Trump, who praised WikiLeaks several times during the 2016 presidential campaign, said Thursday that he had no opinion on Assange’s arrest. WikiLeaks infamously distributed materials hacked from Democratic National Committee servers that proved damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

“I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It’s not my thing,” Trump said from the Oval Office when asked if he still loves the organization.

A lawyer for Assange, Barry Pollack, said that “journalists around the world should be deeply troubled by these unprecedented criminal charges.”

“The factual allegations against Mr. Assange boil down to encouraging a source to provide him information and taking efforts to protect the identify of that source,” Pollack said.
