Pedophiles and rapists have their own special category and should be punished appropriately. My comment was about commiting a crime in another jurisdiction. The same as you would punished by that local or country for robbery or fraud, you would not be jeopardy of US law as the crime was committed outside the boundaries of the US.
Like kids who drink on ships that are flagged in another country and outside borders of the US or smoking weed in Denmark.
It’s illegal to smoke whaky Tobacky here but 100% lawful in Holland .
Should the long arm of the law reach across the shores and jeopardize a US citizen for exercising free will and doing what is lawful and legal in that country? I think not.
Again, pedophiles deserve a special kind of punishment and I do wonder these days when certain men proclaim how wonderful Thailandaand Cambodia are.
Straw arguement.
Not only was sex with underage girls ( prostitute or not, slave to a pimp or free lancing) illegal both in the Dominican Republic and here - we have a treaty to apprehend this guy if there is evidence, and likely to send him back for trial.
None of this Roman Polanski bs.
The relevant law has been posted.
It isn’t that new.
Gary Glitter made a big splash when he fell afoul of this in Britain.
Folks have to be pretty damned far in denial if they pretend they are above the law on this.
There are more parents than there are perverts.
Come to think of it, there are more victims too.
Someone wants to go someplace outside the jurisdiction of this?
Maybe they should find a country that refused to sign the various sex trafficking treaties. Likely they are all Muslim hell holes.
The late Michael Jackson fled to one well known for boy brothels after his trial.
Senator Dimwitocrat didn’t bother, and likely expected never to be found out.
