Milt, the crimes at issue are more than just the child rape in question.
There is also the federal crime of "flight to avoid prosecution."
This crime is a matter of statute and is independent of the question of " original complainant's desires".

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 49 > § 1073

Flight to avoid prosecution or giving testimony

Whoever moves or travels in interstate or foreign commerce with intent either
(1) to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after conviction, under the laws of the place from which he flees, for a crime, or an attempt to commit a crime, punishable by death or which is a felony under the laws of the place from which the fugitive flees..............
