Kentucky Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of "B.H.," who was 15-years-old when he was charged with sexual misconduct and possessing pornographic material featuring a minor (the latter is a felony charge). B.H. was in trouble for having sex with his 13-year-old girlfriend and exchanging nude pictures with her. The acts were voluntary, though neither teen could legally consent to sexual activities since they were both underage at the time.
The girl's parents went to the cops when they found out, and B.H. was prosecuted. (Even though his parents could technically have done the same thing to his girlfriend, they opted against that course of action.) He plead guilty, had to register as a sex offender, and was remanded to a youth treatment center for almost a year.

I went to high school with a guy who had something similar happen our senior year. He was 18 and his girlfriend, a sophomore, was 15. She got pregnant...her parents were attorneys in with the DA and judges and forced rape charges on him. Girl said it was consensual but they somehow got the charge to stick and he went to prison for 3yrs. Three days after his release they were married and are still together today (23yrs later)...and have 2 other children. Yet he is still on the sex offender list.
