A French court ruled on Monday that the American man accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 and later sending her a Facebook message that said, “So I raped you,” can be extradited to the United States.

Ian Cleary, 31, of Saratoga, California, was detained in April in the city of Metz in northeastern France after a three-year search. He has been held in custody pending extradition proceedings since his arrest.

The Court of Appeal in Metz said that Cleary can be extradited. When asked if he wished to be extradited or not, in line with French law, Cleary refused, prosecutors said in a statement Monday. His refusal may delay the extradition process, but it won’t stop it.

Let us hope all unpunished rapists take a page from this asshole’s book and self-identify so they can be tracked and brought to justice.

Sounds fair, given the accusation.

Now extradite Roman Polanski.

The headline is rage bait. His crime isn’t a facebook post. It was the actual rape. His crime was rape, not a facebook message about rape.

Underrated comment.
