US Predator Act

[miami33172]

How has the US Predator Act affected how American men interact with Dominican women under 18? The new law says you can do some serious time in an American prison if the US government finds out an American man had sex with a Dominican girl under 18. Or, you may get thrown into a Dominican prison.

Idiots deserve to get caught doing something illegal in two countries at once and totally preventable since cedulas are readily available for scrutiny and are a lot harder to forge than the old days.

I met a 17 yr old dominican girl in Sosua last year who showed me her cedula stating that she was 21. She's not a 'working girl', don't know really why she felt like needing to 'upgrade' her age, maybe just in order not be harassed by the local PN.

Maybe its just me. But perhaps a real man would question his masculinity for desiring a child. Yes. I know there are some fine azz 17 yolds out there. Do you know what they do to child molesters in prison?? From what I've heard many of them would have rather been stoned to death.

We shall create a "snitch" phone line to report this type of abuse against the children of the world.

The way the USA is going in violating people's civil liberties and privacy, a worldwide snitch line may be just around the corner. Pres. Bush loves stuff like that.

Dude you are an idiot. What does President Bush have to do with the Dominican Republic? Are you afraid someone may snitch to Bush about your love for very young girls?

Confusion reigns, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt and take this at face value. Uhm, what was the question again? Oh yes.. US Law putting US citizens in jail for doing the thing with young girls in the DR? OK, I'm confused again... What is the predator act? We live in the DR, mostly we don't keep up with US Law or US predators.

As I understand it, the new Federal US law allows for the prosecution in the US, of US citizens, for engaging in sexual activity anywhere in the world with someone under the age of consent in the US (which is 18 in most if not all US States) it does not make allowance for the age of consent in the country in which the sexual activity took place.

It was correctly introduced to allow prosection of paedophiles who systematically visit places like Thailand, Phillipines and of course the DR to engage in such acts with minors.

However the Act is flawed in that it does not define "minors" or recognise other countries ages of consent, so a 19 year old (or older) American guy can go to England and have consensual sex with a 16 year old (UK female age of consent),a totally legal situation, and yet still be prosecuted under this Act on return to the US.

As we all know the US Govt never makes frivolous or malicious prosecutions so time will tell if this would this ever happen.
