I can recommend reading this interview [0] with Niels Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.
It gives a pretty good run-down of what happened, by somebody who's impartial, qualified, and actually had access to a lot of evidence and official documentation around the case.
A somewhat long read, but absolutely worth it in terms of what it reveals. Case in point: Assange was never even accused by anybody of sexual assault or rape, Swedish police changed witness testimonies to fabricate that claim, then leaked it the same night to Swedish press.
