I'm not sure what you mean by "developmental" female. If she is chronologically 16, no, it is not illegal. If she is chronologically younger than 15 but looks 16, yes, it is illegal.

that is too risky for my blood - usually, if you have to ask, then you should not do it. DD folks have lessor abilities to consent under law and so there is a huge risk. If the 16 yo changes his/her mind later, then you will be charged and go to jail. DD people can be influenced by you, and by others later.

Bad idea.
