“A “Romeo and Juliette” exemption should apply in this case.”

Typically, where a 15 y.o. is involved, the statutes require that the male be 3 years or more older to establish the crime.

Watch it there. No statutory rape law makes a distinction based on gender and if one did, it wouldn't be enforceable. The older of the two must generally be two or three years older - whether it's the male or female.
