The Global Watch: Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is now a free man and has returned home to Australia after pleading guilty in a deal that ended his yearslong legal battle.

He was accused by U.S authorities of conspiring to break into its military databases to acquire sensitive information and was charged with 18 offences.
