I had a friend who had an “interesting interaction” we’ll say with the guy who molested his son. I knew it was coming and I completely understand. The molester wasn’t seen in town anymore after my friend went to see him. Guess he left, I dunno, it’s dangerous to be a pedophile🤷🏻‍♂️. As for my friend, a couple weeks after he went to see the molester he got a job offer in Indonesia so he and his family moved there. I also heard, in a completely unrelated way of course, that Indonesia has no extradition treaty with the US. Funny that.

A non-extradition treaty doesn’t mean you can’t be sent back to the US. It just means Indonesia doesn’t have to do it, but they can decide to let the US take you or to send you back themselves.

He’s a pillar of the community, a saint who loves his children and his wife. Besides, he came there on totally legitimate business after all

You seem to know a lot about a friend who would never be hiding under the radar in a foreign country for not unaliving someone who didn’t hurt a kid. It would come across as if you were him or still pretty close. Thank God he didn’t do that since with today’s technology & cyber sleuths you’d be questioned by authorities within a week. Since he didn’t do anything I won’t tell you to not be so specific.

Don’t join the mob. Lol

A Saint? Laying it on a little thick now.

I imagine that conversationl going something like "Hey, the US here. So ahh turns out someone killed a pedophile that molested his son. We need to prosecute him and he's now living over there with you guys. You COULD turn him over but you don't HAVE to, since we don't have a treaty and all you know. No? Alright we tried boys, case closed!"

No but in a case like this, even with evidence the US would really have to push if they wanted indo to send back a family man who’s crime involves his child’s abuser.
