If you want to be free of United States law give up your citizenship. Simply going abroad does not release you from it. Ask any serviceman who actually paid attention to the debriefings prior to overseas liberty calls.
And as pointed out above, this was illegal in the country in question. It would be illegal in Cambodia too for that matter, but pedophiles in tens of thousands flock there each year from around the globe to take advantage of a law enforcement system that is underfunded and understaffed.

The third world is not a “be a pedophile free zone”.

Go do that there, and it is a safe bet you are doing it here, just in a more cautious way.

Any way you thin the predators out and keep them away from their intended victims is good. If they go overseas expecting that there will be no detectives and cameras being reviewed later, well, they help the process along.

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.
