The statutory rape issue is the one you should be worried about.
I suggest that you seek legal advice before planning to visit the USA - finding an AZ lawyer should be easy with a few minutes Googling.

She may have turned you in, but if charges were never actually filed, then the statute of limitations probably applies.

Only a lawyer is qualified to answer the other questions. Seriously, if you are thinking of visiting the USA, get advice from an AZ attorney. It will probably cost much less than you expect for basic advice.

Hi I'm no lawyer, but I personally don't see the problem with a 22 year old banging a 17 year old.. it's pretty normal. Here in Italy the age of consent is 14; in my home state in the US it was 16, I think that's what the average is in US states - but you might want to check up on the law for where ever the sex occured to see if it was a crime there...

Nobody else wonders why dude buys a car on his credit car dand then immediately moves to europe? What, was the car going to be your second checked bag? Were you going to use it to transport the girls body? I s it all just one big misunderstanding?

I personally have no moral objection; however, there clearly is a problem, as statutory rape is a felony.

It's not unusual for visitor to buy a car for the duration of their stay, and then sell/leave it when they head home. I'll let the OP speak for himself, but my assumption was that be went home after he split up with his GF.

For statutory rape, it does not seem unreasonable that if an allegation has been made, and the alledged perp has vanished, that a warrant might be issued.
