Your argument seems to be about extradition, not whether it is illegal to have sex with a minor. Whether or not it is illegal in Europe makes no difference. If Roman Polanski came back, he would be arrested as he got off the plane. No one here is promoting sex with minors. The issue here is one between consenting adults, so why don't we discuss that?

No one here is promoting sex with minors. Of course not. Incrementalism doesn't work that way.
Whether or not it is illegal in Europe makes no difference.
I guess you haven't heard our Supreme Court justices espousing International Law instead of the US constitution. Of course what happens in Europe makes a difference, because we are always told that they do it in Europe so we should do it here. Doesn't matter whether the subject is higher taxes, universal health care, or Our antiquated morality.
