Of course American law does not apply in foreign jurisdictions.

Actually, amazingly, it does. Ref: Manuel Noriega

So what about Julian assange, he doesn't live in America? But Americn
law applies to him. Or does it?

No, it doesn't. Nor has he been charged with a crime by the U.S.

Yet. He *is* in violation of the Espianage Act, among several other crimes.
AIUI, there is a grand jury (or three) investigating.

Likewise, he hasn't been charged with a crime in the UK, but the
constabulary threw him in solitary confinement, didn't they?
