A former USC professor once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted fugitives list pleaded guilty Friday to flying to the Philippines and having sex with several underage boys he groomed online. Walter Lee Williams, 65, admitted engaging in illegal sexual contact with minors in foreign places, entering the plea during a brief appearance before U.S. District Judge Phillip S. Gutierrez. As part of a plea, federal prosecutors agreed to recommend that the onetime eminent professor of gender and sexuality studies serve no more than five years in a federal prison. He also would be subject to 10 years supervision upon release and must pay $25,000 in restitution to his seven victims. Williams will be sentenced Dec. 15. He was apprehended within a day of making the FBI's Most Wanted List in June 2013 after he was indicted on sex crimes involving two 14-year-old boys in the Philippines. He was captured in the Mexican coastal town of Playa del Carmen after a resident recognized his photo from a newspaper.

“Federal prosecutors alleged that the author and FULBRIGHT AWARD winner...”
Well, Just like Billy Jeff, except their “gates” just swing in the opposite direction! Ole J. William would be so proud of his recipient!
If heterosexual statutory rape is in a different category than homosexual statutory rape, then yes. I once read an FR thread on the subject of an American male being prosecuted (in America) for having sex with underage female prostitutes in a foreign country. What he did there was a crime here.
Also from wikipedia that he was a Professor of Anthropology, History, and Gender Studies, at the University of Southern California. And that he is one of the pioneers in the field of Queer studies, with a long background in human rights activism.
I guess he was doing post-doctorate research with those boys overseas.
Ah, jees.
Interesting side notes from some quick Wikipedia searches: the Age of Consent in the Philippines is 12, the lowest in Asia... but for prostitution (as I'm sure was the case here), it is 18.
(Other than those nations which require marriage before sex, the 1/3 of the US that is 17 or 18 is the highest in the world. 2/3 of the US has an Age of Consent of 16. Most of Europe is 14-16. Most of South America is 14. Few of these are solid numbers, though, as many of these countries and individual states/provinces carve out tons of exceptions, restrictions, etc. Some nations, like Bolivia, set it at puberty.)
“To boldly go where no man has gone before.”

The United States imposes its own age of consent standards on Americans traveling in foreign countries. This is separate from whatever standards may be imposed by those countries.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sex_tourism:
Tourists from the United States Under the PROTECT Act of April 2003, it is a federal crime, prosecutable in the United States, for a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien, to engage in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18, whether or not the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident alien intended to engage in such illicit sexual conduct prior to going abroad. For purposes of the PROTECT Act, illicit sexual conduct includes any commercial sex act in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18. The law defines a commercial sex act as any sex act, on account of which anything of value is given to or received by a person under the age of 18.[45] Before congressional passage of the Protect Act of 2003, prosecutors had to prove that sex tourists went abroad with the intent of molesting children—something almost impossible to demonstrate. The Protect Act shifted the burden, making predators liable for the act itself. Penalties were doubled from 15 years in prison to 30.[6]
Most college professors want to do what this guy did.
But he'll now be a catcher instead of a pitcher.
When I was teaching at a university in Japan, a gay colleague of mine implied this was why he was taking so many trips to Thailand.
Going overseas for young boys is what liberal icon John Maynard Keynes is believed to have done.
Have at it.

Call it bad timing. Six years ago this guy could have qualified for a cabinet post as Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar”
It still doesn’t make sense he went 700o miles There’s tons of it available right in LA. Hard to avoid it actually including right on campus. Also it doesnt make sense we USA should prosecute for stuff he may have done in Philippines. They have police and courts and prosecutors. And jails. Let Philippines handle it.
“What do you mean what I’ve been doing is against the law? I’ve been teaching it for over 20 years!” Clearly his interest in “human rights” stops at the rights of perverts to get their freak on. He certainly isn’t interested in the basic human rights of his victims.
Ok, why does the FBI guy have his face covered? Doesn’t want to “blow his cover” or is he on the videos too?
Why would anyone pay money for their kids to go to a college that even has a gender and sexuality studies department?

Great question! Expresses my thoughts since I first began seeing mentions of such classes and even degrees.
