Lori Prince Arrest, Extraterritorial Sexual Laws
Houston resident Lori Prince was arrested after returning from Canada, where she allegedly had a relationship with a 16-year-old boy. Although the age of consent in Canada is 16, Prince faces charges in Texas for online solicitation of a minor. The case highlights U.S. laws that grant the government jurisdiction over the sexual conduct of American citizens in foreign countries, even if the acts are legal in those jurisdictions.
