Is it possiple to be deported and arrested as a sex-offender when you have dual-citizenship?

Question

The scenario is a United States citizen has dual citizenship with a country in which the legal age of sexual consent is much lower than that of the US, and this citizen has a relationship with a person younger than is legally permissible in the United States. So even though it would be permissible for this person if they were a citizen of only that country, what would happen to them as they have dual-citizenship? Seeing as the US is incredibly paranoid about its citizens have sexual relations with anybody under the age of 18 while in other countries.

Answer 1

OK, several issues here.

First, did the sexual relationship occur in the US or in the other country, and if the latter, was it legal in that other country? If the relationship was legal where it occurred, then no laws have been broken.

Second, age of consent laws vary by state, since Congress cannot legislate in that area. Citizenship, in contrast, is purely a federal matter, and states cannot legislate in that area.

If the conduct did not occur in the US, and no laws were broken where the conduct did occur, then there are no grounds for the US attempting to revoke the person's citizenship. Dual status or not doesn't matter.

If no US laws were broken, and no felony was committed in a foreign country, then the US has no grounds for a change to his citizenship status.

Answer 2

I don't think so because you can't negate the U.S. citizenship. In other words, having citizenship in another country doesn't take away the fact that they are a citizen of the U.S. and as far as I know, there is no way to take away a U.S. citizen's citizenship unless they voluntarily give it up. The fact that it's "dual" would be irrelevant.

However, it doesn't necessarily make them immune to criminal prosecution in the U.S..

Answer 3

Here it comes....If you commit the crime (in this Country) of
relations with a minor, you can be..if the powers that be (in
this Country) Consider you a threat to the Citizens (of this
Country) deported.

Now if you are playing both sides of the fence (here and there) and get charged (here) and they bring evidence of
the facts (here)...they can deport and extradite you (there)
or they can keep you (here) to serve your time and deport
you (there)

If you do it (there) you will be charged (there) and held (there)
under (their) time...pray that there is no evidence (here) that
they can send (there) because more evidence means more
time (there)

Answer 4

It depends on where you have sexual relations with this minor, if it is in the US yes you are going to get arrested and possibly deported.
