And how exactly is a local cop in the US supposed to enforce the law against someone who (both legally and physically) is a resident of a country on the other side of the globe (Nigeria)?
Asking because that’s the situation the article in the OP is talking about, and I don’t see how any of what you said applies to it.

The perpetrator I am thinking of was a foreign national, but was a student in the USA, attending a US university. The problem is law enforcement.

Best to contact a cyber division of some sort, especially sexual harassment task forces and non-profits. They're usually able to get the ball moving. Local PDs, especially in Metro areas, simply don't have the resources. It's a sad reality.
