Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Mutual Statutory Rape?

I'm a Science teacher teaching Sex Ed to my students where one asked a good question about Statutory rape laws. Could two underage individuals in a sexual relationship form a situation for Statutory rape?

The information I have so far found is at best unreliable so I'd love some further insight.
