GW Bush passed a law allowing prosecution of US citizens engaged in sex trafficking overseas. Though I am against international courts, I find this a legitimate use of US power.
The article I read did not say anything about trafficking. I might have missed it. Regardless, trafficking, as I understand it, is basically kidnapping and shipping people around for various purposes and forcing them to work in legal or illegal ventures. He did not do that. Were the boys prostitutes? We probably get closer to the spirit of the law you mention if that is true.
Again, not defending this guy. The cases where molesters do their time but the state adds on because they don’t want them out bothers me as well. Again, I do not want molesters out, but if you want the sentence to be never ever, then sentence them to never ever or even death. Don’t make it 10 years and then add on later. It sets a precedent for doing this for other crimes and to other people.
How come we don’t read about people who go to Bankok getting busted?
