what are the laws on sexual relations between 2 minors, a boy 15 and a girl 11 going on 12? Is it statutory rape even though both parties decided together to experiment sexually? And what are the penalties involved ...and is there a statute of limitations on when the boy would have to be taken into custody if things proceed that far?

Due to the girl's young age, the boy would be committing a crime of rape. As he is 15, at the discretion of the juvenile court judge, he could be tried as an adult, and would face a sentence of 3-10 years in prison, without the possibility of parole, as well as having to register as a sex offender upon release. If he his tried as a juvenile, he would placed in the custody of youth services for 1-3 years. The statute of limitation for this crime is 20 years.
