I think Assange on multiple occasions has said he is willing to face trial in Sweden - his issue has always been that he doesn't want to be shipped off to the USA to spend the rest of his life in a supermax in Colorado.

As a Swede, I wish I could say that Assange could come here and face justice without fear of being extradited to the US. But I'm not sure if that's true.

Well considering Sweden wouldn't promise that he wouldn't just be shipped straight off to the USA after the trial then I am not surprised. Even if he had been convicted in Sweden he would have served far less time in far better conditions than his time in the embassy.
