The fact that he is French is irrelevant for these purposes as the offense did not occur in France or breach French law, and provided France has an extradition agreement in place with the USA (which I believe it does) they would be dutybound to extradite him.

Anyway, it's difficult to make any comment until the case has been concluded, but it's certainly a worrying set of allegations if nothing else.

That's what I thought! I didn't know whether or not he would have to be sent back to France or not (And I didn't say that just because of his nationality, I really thought that was what was supposed to happen). Thank you for clearing that up!
