Let's use a different example. What would you think about a woman who was in Canada, facing charges of adultery in her home country? In that she left her husband, and found a new boyfriend before her divorce was completed. (I'm getting this example from an episode of "Locked Up Abroad"- in case anybody is wondering.)

But what she did in the States, is an indictable offense in Canada
The punishment is screwed, but under your example we're now saying that what you did was a crime in both countries but we don't like your system of punishment.
Like I said I don't have a real problem with what happened in terms of them fleeing to Canada, but its more due to the length of sentence, but it suddenly isn't as clear in terms of passing the smell test.
And we don't know the specifics of the victim in this case in terms of mental state. did he testify against her? did he feel used or molested?
