I’m sure that sex trafficking is an a crime that reaches across borders, but does statutory rape?

These guys were intentionally flying out of the country to commit these acts, no doubt quite by design. I remember being a child and playing the slot machines on a cruise ship because our domestic gambling laws did not have jurisdiction on international waters. I don’t know what federal laws would be in place, but I recall hearing when I was younger how statutory rape laws varied from state to state. So would they really be able to go after Clinton for such if he was outside the country?

I’m sure Epstein shared his digital files with others and on American soil.

It’ll be delicious to see the names that come up.

Because so many creepy guys were flying to poor third world countries like Cambodia for the express purpose of having sex with children a law was passed here in the USA that makes it illegal for Americans to do such things, regardless of local law or custom.
