A new tell-all book by a former employee of WikiLeaks claims that the organization’s embattled founder, Julian Assange, has fathered at least four children out of wedlock, said HuffingtonPost.com. In the book, titled Inside WikiLeaks, the former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg says that Assange often bragged to him about how he had children all over the world. “He seemed to enjoy the idea of lots of Julians, one on every continent,” said Domscheit-Berg. He added that Assange seeks out women who are both young and submissive. “‘She has to be aware of her role as a woman,’ he used to say.”
