EDIT: I'm still not 100% but it seems you could have a point. Upon returning to your country, you may be charged with something you did while abroad, even if it was legal there.

Yes, YOU could be charged for returning to YOUR country and breaking YOUR laws on foreign soil, but THEY can't charge you for breaking THEIR laws on your home soil.
DJCham, a drunk beautiful 18 year old comes up to you in a bar, and tells you she's from like... I dunno, somewhere you don't know a lot about, gets all up close to you then asks you if you want to go home with her. Do you stop and ask her if it's legal in her country for you to have sex with her?
Hell, imagine you're younger, 18, and you're living in one of the numerous US States with the legal age being 16. Imagine the same thing happens, or you're at a party or something, and the girl is 16, and she's just from another State, but one you don't know the age of consent for. Are you gonna stop and ask her what the age of consent in her state is?
At the end of the day, the girl is the one with the responsibility to tell you that she isn't over the age of consent in her state, you cannot be expected to know those laws, and you've gotta be kidding me if you think it's the responsibility of the other person to question the younger about the age of consent in their home country/state before having drunked sex at a party. That'd probably be one of the single greatest turn-offs of all time.
OF ALL TIME.
