JTK - she was in Texas when she broke Texas laws against this. Perhaps they're afraid that she'll do something similar with someone closer to home and younger. Or they don't believe that "nothing happened". Or they've gotten other complaints about her. Or, you know, she actually did something wrong.
Quote:
“The (online) chats they have are incredibly sexually explicit,” Harris County prosecutor Eric Devlin told the Houston Chronicle.
Barrie police say Ms. Price won't face charges in Canada for allegedly convincing Andrew Kane to run away with her because the age of consent in Canada is 16. In Texas, the age of consent is 17.
“She enticed him to leave home. That's illegal in the state of Texas,” Mr. Devlin is quoted as saying. “It doesn't even matter if it's within the age of consent in a foreign country.”

The Canadians were willing to let her go because Canadian laws are different - which is probably why they went there in the first place. But she was in the US when she set this whole thing in motion, and it seems pretty obvious that local law should prevail. Seems like the old "break the law, go to Mexico" gambit, only backwards and northwards.
