He didn’t sleep with underage girls. He statutorily raped them.

That may be true in the US but is that accurate for the Dominican Republic? And why do we care... If the Dominican Republic doesn’t prosecute why do we get involved?

Age of consent in the Dominican Republic is 18. He was traveling internationally to do this so we are treaty bound to honor the treaties we have signed pursuant to sex tourism.

Care? Perhaps sex with underage girls is OK by you but not by me. I want the scumbag out of Senate. If these allegations are true I doubt this NJ democrat will survive this. I don't think NJ will let it ride.

Perhaps your point is ... legally ... why is the FBI involved? I'll defer to others on the law.

That is troubling. If it’s not illegal in that country, whatever “that” is, it shouldn’t be prosecutable here.

We respect other culture and should respect their laws and customs .
