New Jersey Millionaire to Stand Trial for International Child Sex Tourism
I chewed on this one for a while. On the one hand, what these guys do is so utterly deplorable, somebody's gotta do something to stop them.
On the other hand, it is a bit unnerving to see US citizens prosecuted in their own country for crimes they committed in other countires.
But what I concluded was this: They used their US-issued passports to gain access to another country in order to harm people in that country. So this does fall under misuse of the pasport and that ought to give the US government jurisdiction of some sort.
Thoughts?

That sounds about right.
