The SCMP reports

An American teacher wanted on child sex charges and on the run from the FBI has been arrested by Hong Kong authorities and extradited to face trial. He was detained trying to cross the border into the mainland.
Which is as it should be. Someone wanted in one jurisdiction is extradited by another. Which makes Australia's decision to not extradited two wanted men to Hong Kong without explanation look stranger still. Like many things in politics I image the Australian Government is hoping this issue will go away and for the large part it has. It was asked about in Australia's Parliament on March 10th but there has been nothing since then. There is more to this story than meets the eye.
