Through allowing anyone who wants it access to your internet connection you
may well enable people to act criminally, which is worse than an accident.


And yes, you're responsible for it.  Accepting responsibility as an adult
for your actions or inaction is a fundamental part of the social contract
which is the basis of civilisation.  Unless, of course, you're a committed
anarchist, in which case any discussion with you of responsibility and
society is void.
