The standard approach is you prosecute your citizens for crimes committed abroad if the act is a crime both in your jurisdiction and in the jurisdiction of the place where it was committed.
And the European approach is you prosecute your citizens for crimes committed abroad if the act is a crime both in your jurisdiction and in the jurisdiction of the place where it was committed, unless you're famous.

That's not completely fair.  Considering most Euro's attitude towards raping children you probably don't need to be famous to avoid those charges.
