That is troubling. If it’s not illegal in that country, whatever “that” is, it shouldn’t be prosecutable here.

We respect other culture and should respect their laws and customs .

If you want to be free of United States law give up your citizenship. Simply going abroad does not release you from it. Ask any serviceman who actually paid attention to the debriefings prior to overseas liberty calls.
And as pointed out above, this was illegal in the country in question. It would be illegal in Cambodia too for that matter, but pedophiles in tens of thousands flock there each year from around the globe to take advantage of a law enforcement system that is underfunded and understaffed.

The third world is not a “be a pedophile free zone”.

Go do that there, and it is a safe bet you are doing it here, just in a more cautious way.

Any way you thin the predators out and keep them away from their intended victims is good. If they go overseas expecting that there will be no detectives and cameras being reviewed later, well, they help the process along.
