I'm not sure that's completely accurate. I'm pretty sure you're bound by the law of the country you're in EXCEPT you can't pay or be paid for sex if the girl is under 16 years old. The law you refer to pertains to foreign or interstate commerce...i.e. paying, being paid, or arranging for sex in this case...but doesn't pertain to non-business consensual sex.
