well, the 3rd person on this list caught my eye. She ran to Canada and got asylum there. So how could she still be on interpol's most wanted? but lol at a US citizen getting asylum in another country...

In 2008, Denise Harvey was convicted of having unlawful sex with a minor. According to American media reports, the boy was 16-years-old and played on her son’s baseball team.

Harvey fled to Canada in 2010 before she could be sent to prison. She was sentenced to 30 years in jail and is still wanted in the United States.

Harvey claimed her sentence was cruel and unusual punishment and after arriving in Saskatchewan, she asked for asylum.

Her request for protected person status was heard by the Immigration Review Board (IRB) in July of 2012 and the IRB granted her request because it agreed her sentence was indeed cruel and unusual punishment and the crime she was convicted of is not a crime in Canada.

Canadian law states that a 16-year-old can consent to sex with an adult unless the adult is a person of trust, such as a teacher, coach or boss. If that is the case, the age of consent jumps to 18.

Since the Florida boy was 16 and Harvey was not considered to be in a position of trust, no Canadian laws were broken.
