This pervert was doing this while representing the United States of America in our State Department. He should be drawn and quartered, IMHO.

Am I mistaken in believing some cultures punish criminals with death by impalement? Just asking.

Ah! But if it was a 42 year-old ex-diplomat from the Congo or Brazil having sex with teenagers over HERE and using the same defense... Well? Would he have a case?

Some info on the judge:
U.S. District Court Judge Gerald Bruce Lee
Lee was nominated to his present position as U.S. District Judge by President Bill Clinton on May 22, 1998, and received his commission on October 1, 1998.
As an attorney, Judge Lee was involved in a number of notable cases. He was one of the first to assert the battered woman defense in a murder case in 1978 and his client was acquitted of murder.

An ex-diplomat convicted of having sex with teenage girls in the Congo and Brazil and taping the encounters is asking a judge for leniency, claiming that cultural differences in those countries make sex with girls more acceptable. Not for you you pervert! You represent the USA and it's illegal; PERIOD!

What a total creep. Men who go overseas to have sex with children(anyone under 18) should be castrated.

Heard this excuse before. A few years ago Hawaii was changing its Age of Consent law from 14 to 16, this excuse was used by many (citing Filipino culture, Fijian culture, Samoan culture, etc).
One state legislator even said that the law would have the unintended consequence on poor girls in that they could not become more financially “upwardly mobile” if they could not consent to sex at the lower age.
Sickening.

Certainly Planned Parenthood believe that it’s OK and apparently so does Obama, since he desires no punishment for abortion providers to teens, (or even younger) without notifying law enforcement of “child rape” or even the child’s parents (which in some cases might come from within the family, i.e. step-father, brother or “live-in boyfriend.”)

I think if he were serving as a diplomat, he could claim diplomatic immunity and walk. Sadly.

Sex with teens is acceptable here, too...as long as it’s 18 and 19.

Sex with teens is permissible in almost all cultures and legal within almost all geopolitical boundaries....
But that isn't the issue here. The issue is possession of child pornography which is not condoned by American culture or legal in the US.

Interestingly and surprisingly enough, that depends on what state you're in.

Western, civilized morality rejects this because in truth, Western morality is
Christian morality. Not some vague "religious" morality, but specifically:
Christianity. You don't have to be Christian to hold that it's indecent for grown men to bed teen-aged girls, but to uphold it you
do need to be in a population of some 9,000 generations of Christian dominance in the culture -- i.e., the Western world.
Many good people pshaw Christianity (more accurately, Judeo-Christianity) and thereby God who gave us as workmates and companions, dogs -- which Muslims consider "unclean" in their world where it's legal to marry nine-year-old girls.
Hmmmppphhh. Judeo-Christianity is what unites us. We'd better hold strong.
