You can be prosecuted in the US for paying a bribe or having sex with a minor outside of the US.

It is hardly some unique thing. Many countries prosecute child sex tourism and paying bribes, even though no crime occurs inside their borders.

Presumably the "you" in question would have to be an American resident though, which Assange is not and never has been.
