Higgins has a good point. The victim wants this dropped. Shouldn't that count for something? Do we have to drag her through this all over, again?
At the same time, this guy's gotten away with a pretty big deal, IMO. If he had just raped your 13 yr-old daughter last month, I'd think you'd think the same. Being on the lam for 30 years shouldn't excuse him from what he's done. There is an element of justice that is (for better or worse) blind.
And from a selfish personal safety issue, whether or not he's been behind bars, executed, rehabilitated, or AWOL, by being persona non grata for so many years, at least he's effectively been removed from the American population to prevent him from doing the same to anyone else. Well, at least here in the U.S.A. The rest of the child rapist-loving Euros can fend for themselves. I don't know if I'd be actively pursuing him around the world, but I certainly know I wouldn't throw this guy a pardon, were I POTUS.
