1:21Now PlayingJulian Assange has arrived at court in the far-flung US city of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands ahead of his expected guilty plea in the federal courthouse there.
The WikiLeaks founder is expected to plead guilty to one federal felony count on Wednesday morning local time in the US territory before he goes back home to Australia for the first time in years.
His private jet was spotted arriving at Saipan International Airport, followed by a motorcade that took him to the court.
Under the terms of the plea, he won’t spend another day behind bars after he received credit for the time he spent in a high-security British prison.
Before his stint in prison, he camped out in the Ecuadorian Embassy for years to avoid extradition to Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations, which he has denied.
Assange was released from jail and took a private jet on Monday to Saipan, the capital of the secluded island that has been an American territory since 1986. He shelled out $500,000 to avoid landing anywhere on the US homeland. Instead, he made a brief pit stop in Bangkok so the plane could refuel.
