I wonder if that applies if she crosses all the state lines on her own.

I’ve never practiced in the Federal area, only state, but my guess is that if he solicited her to cross a state line, he can still go to Federal Court, not pass go, and collect 200 years. The typical MO in these cases though is that the predator goes to the victim. It’s about control, and they want to exert control immediately.
