I said "I tend to agree with Dottore" but I failed to elaborate. You are correct Turbo, there has been a federal warrant out for RP since '77 when he fled. I'm not sure what charges would be filed if he were to be arrested here. You may have the statute right there.

The farce that occurred when all the original charges were dropped in a plea bargain except an unlawful sex conviction put RP in a mental institution for 42 days, short of the 90 he was sentenced to.

Apparently the courts didn't think too much of the crime at the time to offer that plea and then waffle on sentencing. Since deportation was seemingly going to be part of the sentence, RP deported himself. No one knows how much prison time he would have gotten. Probably not much.

Dottore states that our justice system is in need and I said I tend to agree. Apparently the Swiss officials agree as well.

I have never condoned what RP did.
