The general principle is that acts committed abroad are not punishable under the English criminal law. Parliament may give an offence extra-territorial application but must do so expressly. ... A person of any nationality commits / attempts to commit such an offence in any country covered by the convention

So Britain can prosecute a British Subject living in Britain for a crime committed abroad.  Thank God we got that one sorted.

Yes, many have. most notorious was 70's pop star Garry Glitter (ew) who sexually abused children in Thailand or was it Vietnam?   Sex tourists they are called.

Germany sem to have quite a high bar re evidence for prosecution. What I think many have not realised is that if the Germans don't charge CB..then SY could.....trial by jury
