So, we have a special law for this, a US Law that prosecutes you for crimes committed in other countries? Presumably because those other countries are derelict and won’t prosecute these crimes?
I mean, is it just this one category of crime, or are there others?
How about honor killings, that’s pretty low and often unprosecuted, if not rewarded, by other nations?
USA won’t punish or prosecute honor killings
at least not until we get a new administration
If heterosexual statutory rape is in a different category than homosexual statutory rape, then yes. I once read an FR thread on the subject of an American male being prosecuted (in America) for having sex with underage female prostitutes in a foreign country. What he did there was a crime here.
