🏛️ U.S. Federal Law Citation The main citation establishing extraterritorial jurisdiction for sexual exploitation of children is Title 18, United States Code, Section 2423. 18 U.S.C. § 2423 — Transportation of minors This statute provides the authority to prosecute U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents for specific offenses when they travel to foreign countries (under 18) that include: - 18 U.S.C. § 2423(c) — This section (Conduct in Foreign Places) makes it a crime if a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident travels in foreign commerce or resides in a foreign country and engages in any illicit sexual conduct with another person (defined as any sexual conduct with a person under 18 years old that would be illegal if committed domestically). This statute allows the U.S. government to prosecute individuals who engage in illicit sexual conduct with minors outside U.S. borders. - 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) — A citizen can be prosecuted if he/she travels with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. - 18 U.S.C. § 2423(d) — Travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.

Related statutes with Extraterritorial Reach Other federal statutes also grant extraterritorial jurisdiction for related child exploitation offenses: - 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (sex trafficking of children under 18) — Grants extraterritorial jurisdiction over § 1591. - Certain child pornography statutes also grant extraterritorial jurisdiction over U.S. nationals.

The way #Fuentes casually justifies statutory rape is absolutely disgusting like everything else he says, but his #goypers will be in trouble if they take his advice.
US law allows arrest and charging of US citizens HERE for sexual abuse of minors in international locations (18 U.S.C. §2423).

The post talks about an exclusive that Tucker Carlson is going to reveal. It alleges, falsely, a bunch of conspiracy theories. Listing "INSANE Inconsistencies") The assassin's house was PROFESSIONALLY scrubbed. No footprint on the internet - No social media footprint. He was in a BlackRock commercial. There was never a formal report. There was never press conferences where they detailed all the information... There was a very young kid there with a rangefinder (used to measure distances), very suspicious. The snipers that were on the other roof was a, a steeper pitch. His body was immediately cremated. There was some indications that there was a phone that had been traveling from outside the FBI offices in D.C. to where this kid lived multiple times.

This is circulating on social media platforms. It looks to me like another attempt to distract from The #EpsteinFiles -- and of course it's full of misinformation, some partial truths mrepresented out of context and complete fabrications.

A picture of Sigmund Freud with a famous quote: "most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility." (paraphrased from his ideas in his 1930 work, "Civilization and Its Discontents". It's widely attributed to that work in popular discussions however the precise wording does not appear in the work, original language or translations. )

Reprimand recommended for Massachusetts judge accused of helping man evade ICE A Massachusetts judge who was criminally charged during the first Trump administration with helping a migrant avoid arrest by an immigration agent at her courthouse should only receive a public reprimand, a judicial disciplinary hearing officer concluded, because she was unaware of the plan to help the migrant escape.

Remember the Massachusetts judge who was arrested during the first Trump term for allegedly helping a migrant escape ICE? Feds dropped the criminal charges?
The Massachusetts Judicial Conduct Commission has recommended a public reprimand, a victory for the judge.

And when you're dealing with political dinners, the cost shoots way up because these also because of the fundraising aspect Years ago when I was a candidate for State legislature, I attended a lot of those. The price often varied based on how close one was to the prominent guest.

It's been 10 years now that we closed the business in the UK I was preparing for dual citizenship and wanted to move. 😪

You are absolutely correct. Thank you for pointing that out. I was trying to fit everything in BlueSky's character limit and carelessly dropped the "sauce". There's a big difference.

l also didn't mention "chippy sauce" (salt and sauce) common in Edinburgh and the surrounding area.
