They might make it legal to do so if it isn't already. We prosecute child rapists who go overseas thinking that they won't get caught.
Or as a more down-to-earth parallel: If you do drugs in Amsterdam where it's legal you won't be charged for usage at home where it might be illegal.
He clearly wasn't breaking the laws of the then current reign.

If child rape is legal in a country, an individual commits the act of child rape within that country, and then moves to another country. Should he then be punished in that other country for his act?
Yes, and he should have been punished in the country where it was legal as well.

Child rape isn't legal in those countries either, it's just not enforced because the government and police are paid off. If it were legal there I don't believe it could be prosecuted here, but I don't know of any country where people can legally pimp children that would be young enough to be the cause of such prosecutions here.
