    He avoided UK courts because the investigation was handed over to the US and they gave him five years.

      No, he was handed to US forces, they court-martialled, acquitted, gave an honourable discharge, he went home to the US. Then only later did the FBI investigate with some additional evidence, and after that was given 5 years and a tracking condition for 20years on release - because of the risk he posed to women!

        Cambridgeshire Constabulary certainly didn’t.
