Julian Assange’s lawyer says he secretly fathered two children with her
[NYPOST] WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
... Australian journalist who founded WikiLeaks in 2006. WikiLeaks made the Big Time in 2010 when it published a series of leaks provided by then Bradley, since Chelsea Manning. After the 2010 leaks, the United States government launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and asked allied nations for assistance. U.S. officials are seeking to prosecute Assange under the Espionage Act, blaming him for directingpublication of a huge trove of secret documents that disclosed the names of people who provided confidential information to American and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan....
secretly fathered two children with one of his lawyers while he was holed up at the Ecuadorean embassy in London and fighting extradition to the US, according to a report.

Stella Morris, a South African-born lawyer, began a relationship with Assange, 48, in 2015, she told the Daily Mail Saturday of the couple’s secret romance.

The couple’s first son, Gabriel, was born in 2017 said Morris, 37.

Their second child, Max, was born last year. Both births were filmed with a GoPro camera and the footage sent to Assange, the Mail reported.

The couple managed to keep their relationship and the birth of the children secret from the Ecuadorean staff and diplomats who had given Assange refuge at the embassy for seven years, the newspaper reported.

"I love Julian deeply, and I am looking forward to marrying him," Morris told the Mail.

In an even odder twist, British rapper M.I.A. is a godmother to the children, who are both British citizens, the Mail reported.

If 'NGO' gives you pause, you are probably correct. She's very likely an intelligence operative.
