Ugh, that's literally a case of, "think of the children." If what they did was illegal in the country they did it in, then they should be punished there - maki

Ugh, that's literally a case of, "think of the children."
If what they did was illegal in the country they did it in, then they should be punished there - making it straightforward to extradite them back for trial would be reasonable (assuming it isn't already(. And if it isn't illegal there, well it ought to be.
It also sounds like it would be legal for them to marry a 17 year old (as it is in many states in the US) but pay that 17 year old for sex and 30 years in prison.
- jlgaddis 13y agoI am all for protecting children so I hope this doesn't come out wrong but there are way too many "think of the children" laws on the books (and it's only going to continue). Similar to your example, in the state where I live (Indiana) it would be legal for me (a 34-year-old man) to have sex 10 times a day with a 16-year-old kid but it would be a felony punishable by years in prison if I took a naked picture of the same kid. (I don't have any desire to do either one, of course, I just think that's an illustrative example.)
