A Texas pet owner whose dog went missing while being cared for by a Rover pet sitter says he lost contact with the sitter as soon as the search for the pup began.

During the three-hour hearing, Assange pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents but said he had believed the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech, shielded his activities. Chief U.S. District Judge Ramona V. Manglona accepted his guilty plea and released him due to time already served in a British jail.
Assange, 52, left the court through a throng of TV cameras and photographers without answering questions, then waved as he got into a white SUV. The U.S. territory in the western Pacific was chosen due to his opposition to travelling to the mainland U.S. and for its proximity to Australia, prosecutors said.
While stuck at the embassy he had two sons with his partner, Stella, who had been one of his lawyers. They married in 2022 at the Belmarsh prison in London.
