We should be extraditing him to the country where he broke the law. If it’s legal over there, well… that’s shit and we should put pressure on them to change that.
But, while his actions are completely morally repugnant and he should be removed from society, I’m not clear on what law he broke in the US.
Maybe it’s illegal to travel through federal land (airports) with the intent to rape? But if that’s the case, we may need to shut down our military airports.
I think it’d be more seen as a violation of trafficking laws, it’s fundamentally the same act and intent as bringing a sex slave into the US, just going the other direction.
Wildly tangential, but did you know the military actually has their own vacation airport and hotel service? Like they get their own airline and everything, fuckin’ wild.
As an American citizen, you are subject to its laws, even abroad.
Even if its legal for citizens of Z to do X in country Z, If you get caught doing it and come back to America, where X is illegal, you will be arrested for doing X.
AFAIK, This is really only gone after for major drugs and sex crimes. As long as you’re not stupid enough to announce it to the customs agents, or posted videos of you doing it all over the internet and draw massive attention to yourself, no one will typically care if you ate a pot brownie in Amsterdam
