UK won't extradite sex offender accused of raping, molesting girls in US

Rape and assbanging children are Family Funtastic pasttimes over there.

Catholic Church doesn't have that much influence anymore, man.

Lulz, nice try, Roman.

British fascination with child rapists is hardly news.

[Eddie Teach]

Nothing else works with sexual predators, you know that.

If that were the case, Marty would've been killed ages ago.

To be fair, there are probably some downsides to Ide's idea too.

"While Sullivan's girlfriend delayed police at the front door of her town home, Sullivan crawled into the attic, broke a hole through the ceiling of an adjoining town home, and evaded police by hiding there until the search was over," the suit says. Later, "Sullivan had his girlfriend drive him to the airport, and ... fled the country."

In phone interviews, the ex-girlfriend, whom the Star Tribune is not naming because she has not been charged with any crime, said that at the time she had no idea Sullivan was accused of abusing minors.

"I thought he was normal," she said. "I thought he was really handsome and charming."

Later across the ocean...

At the time he was living with Ministry of Justice policy manager Sarah Smith at her £1 million house in Barnes, South-West London. The couple have since married.

Miss Smith, 34, gave evidence at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London in support of Sullivan on at least two occasions, according to a ten-page judgment made by District Judge Howard Riddle.

At one point, the judge said: 'She was a good and convincing witness.'

This is pretty bizarre.

Huh, looked it up.  The US has no problem extraditing it's citizens to other countries, though it depends on the treaty.  You kill a person in Canada and flee to the US, I think the government will extradite your ass to the maple syrup Gulag.

It's nice to know this case isn't really about being sent back to the US then.

He'll need a rape room.

In seriousness, I don't believe the USSC has ruled directly on the issue of whether death penalties for non-murder crimes are intrinsically unconstitutional (iirc, the successful attacks on the death penalty have involved due process, not the cruelty and unusualness of the punishment).

IIRC, they never have actually said that the death penalty is only constitutional in murder cases, but they have ruled out its use in every other crime when they've had the opportunity.  They've never ruled on its use in the case of treason, and there's some reason to believe that they would uphold it as a punishment for treason.
