Swedish prosecutors have dropped it's rape investigation into Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
Mr. Assange has been living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for the past five years to avoid being extradited to Sweden.
But despite the investigation being closed, Mr. Assange will likely continue living in the embassy for some time.
London police say if he steps out, they'll still arrest him on the lesser charge of failing to surrender to a court.
