  • He's accused of having sex with a 17 year old in London, New York and Barbados. Is any of that illegal?

    sex with a 17 year old in London,

    No

    New York

    Yes

    and Barbados.

    No

    I can't pretend to understand international law that much, but even if he were proven to have nobbed a minor in the US (by their standards), he would not face charges in the UK.

    The US could seek to extradite though - And the UK extradition treaty with the US is such that a UK citizen will (not even may) be extradited for an act that is not criminal in the UK, and without prima facie evidence.

  • New York is 17 so not illegal for all three locations. This brings it back to the issue of whether she was forced or is he just a pervy old man?
