what shocked me is she was taping this stuff for 4 years
guess they needed to build up a case?
That was curious to me too: did the FBI think after year 3 of compiling this, "hey, wait, he might still lead us to some NAMBLA cabal?"
Isn't it some sort of super-serious felony to make plans to leave the country to commit what would be a sex crime here? I think I remember something like that on Law and Order: SVU, the surest source of on-point legal information.
