Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, "has been charged," according to an unrelated court filing that inadvertently mentioned his name, reports said.

The New York Times reported that the filing was first spotted late Thursday. The reports did not indicate what charges Assange will face.

The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that the disclosure about Assange being charged is true, but it was unintentional.

Fox News emailed the Department of Justice early Friday for comment and did not immediately get a response.

A spokesman from the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia told the Post that the court filing "was made in error. That was not the intended name for this filing."
