Crimes like the one mentioned above are considered federal crimes. These crimes are usually more serious and are heard in the Federal Court System. Illicit sexual conduct in a foreign place can be found in the United States Code 18 U.S.C. 2423(c). It states any United States citizen or alien admitted for permanent residence that travels in foreign commerce, and engages in any illicit sexual conduct with another person shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.
