I wonder why federal marshals had jurisdiction for a “child rapist”, not normally a federal crime. Perhaps they were just “assisting” the local LEOs at the scene?

I see two options.

They were on a OT funded Panty Raid.

OR...

The rape victim was the child of someone with political influence.

A retired LEO said that it could be federal if the criminal fled across state lines.
