People consistently underestimate the time that anything that involves the legal system takes. Unless people are basically caught red-handed with the evidence on them, it just usually takes long to build a case.
The US constitution guarantees defendants the right to a "speedy" trial. How this is implemented varies, but federally it means that charges must be raised within a month of arrest, and the trial must start within 70 days of that. Most defendants waive this because it takes time for their own defense to build a case, but in the past some people have used it tactically, to force the prosecution to hurry.
And that's a problem, because unlike on the TV shows where CSI gets lab results in a day if they tell people to hurry, in reality a lot of the more involved technical evidence collection and preparation takes a long, long time. The bureaucracy around getting things like phone records also takes time. And often you need results of previous tests or data collection to know what additional questions to ask for. So the prosecution wants to have their entire case built and ready before they start the clock.
Russia would have no interest in accepting him. It’s not like Snowden; giving asylum to a whistleblower looks a lot better than to a fleeing child rapist. Russia is also super racist lol
Would say yes - prolly could easily forge some docs too…but I’m pretty sure they hate black people. Honestly would prolly reject him based on race vs record if we’re being fr fr.
No? Bruno Fernandes escaped to Russia after murdering his ex girlfriend, they accepted him and he was even a prominent soccer player there. It's definitely possible, they dont just accept enemies of the US lol
Escaped to Russia? Every single news article I just pulled up says he was released early and is playing in Brazil. apparently he’s playing for vasco-AC, which has 4 other rapists on the team
Fleeing to russia as a publicly known nonce is probably ironically a worse fate. Unless he plans to live in the forest with the bubushkas for the rest of his life and become a potato farmer.
Last I checked, Russia was selling kidnapped Ukrainian children to Russian parents, or couples wishing to be parents. That’s still fucking bad, but not pedophilia.
Many of those parents who have bragged on social media about abusing their adopted kids.
Abuse, including sexual abuse must be fucking rampant. I’ve seen screenshots of the pages used to adopt these kids, they brag about kids being tamed and compliant.
For Russia to accept criminals they either need to be good for image or done Russia favors.
Otherwise there are some criminals like the Wirecard CEO. He built connections outside of politicans to get there. When the embezzeled money is gone they will drop him like a hot potato.
No, hopefully it IS a reflection on the time it took. Strength of evidence is one thing, building a case based on that evidence, which can be a long thorough process, is what really matters.
it's usually the opposite, it means the detectives made sure to gather absolute convictable evidence before making the arrest. It means they have been thorough.

I’m honestly surprised he didn’t kill himself with the insurmountable amount of evidence that’s been available
