What the heck does relivance mean? Get a dictionary...don't you have any personal pride in your writing?
And it's countries not countrys.

You should not even try to find out. In many countries it is a crime for prosecution, no matter where you commit it.
Limited reading and writing abilities give no protection from the law either.

Do you mean if s.o. Is prosecuted in a state where the age of consent is say 21, the court should ascertain if the accused had sex with anybody under that age,in other countries or states? In one southern state a man can legally marry a 14 yr old. (Need to search that)
what if he married a 15 year old girl in France? Legal there. What if he/she had sex with a 14 yr old boy in Spain, or married a 14 yr old girl there? Both legal in Spain. ( Age of consent there for all types used to be 13 - until Germany pressed for aligning age of consent throughout the EU )
If the person involved isn't resident in the state concerned should he be extradited for breaking a US law? This is a can of worms.

If the law is meant to prevent,
let the prosecutors, lawyers argue about the details.
you are a citizen of?
There was a doctor practicing in a US territory, not state, that was exposed for his activities, travels to Cambodia.
BSW, does that 14 year (in some places 12) minimum marriage age apply now to same sex marriage too?
