CLEonline.com, together with the Houston Bar Association, are pleased to present a special online CLE seminar on a topic that has become more and more common and newsworthy in recent years. Many are unaware they can face arrest under U.S. law for crimes committed in foreign lands, particularly sex crimes. This seminar will focus on global and domestic initiatives, such as Operation Predator and the PROTECT Act, that allow extraterritorial jurisdiction for such crimes as child sex tourism, Internet crimes, prostitution, and human trafficking.

This seminar features an audio presentation from a live CLE seminar on this topic that was originally conducted by the Houston Bar Association (HBA) on September 25, 2009. This audio presentation features attorney John A. Nechman of the Houston firm of Katin & Nechman, L.L.P.. This is a streaming audio presentation that you can access on demand at any time during the course of the seminar session. The audio presentation runs for approximately 1.25 hours. This seminar is entitled:
