One wonders what the verdict of the jury would have been had the same evidence been presented against a "normal" 46-year old male, instead of someone straight out of a freak show. I have a funny suspicion that the return would have been guilty, beyond all reasonable doubt.
As for flitting to Europe, surely from what is left of the sovereign power of governments there is the facility to bar undesirable aliens. If the Yanks can refuse entry to the ( unproven) terrorist funder Cat Stevens, than I'm quite sure that buffoon of a Home Secretary called Clark can red card Jacko the Paedophile.
