    The present research, titled “The Statute of Limitations in Criminal Actions for Sexual Offenses Committed by Juvenile Offenders: Analysis of Ruling No. 15-19-CN and Related Cases”, is based on the urgent need to clarify the normative contradiction between the constitutional principle of the non-applicability of statutory limitations to sexual crimes committed against children and adolescents—as recognized in Article 46, paragraph 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador—and the provisions of Article 334A of the Code of Childhood and Adolescence, which establishes a general statute of limitations of five years for crimes committed by adolescents, without distinguishing the severity of the offense. This legal dissonance not only creates a clear risk of impunity but also leads to inconsistent judicial interpretations. In this context, the study aims to carry out a critical legal analysis of this normative tension with the purpose of identifying interpretative alternatives that ensure the coherence of the legal system and the effective protection of victims’ rights. To this end, the central focus of the analysis will be Ruling No. 15-19-CN and Related Cases-22 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, as it constitutes a key precedent in the field of children's and adolescents’ rights. Nevertheless, the Court's ruling revealed divided interpretations regarding the non-applicability of statutory limitations in sexual offenses committed by juvenile offenders, which resulted in a decision with limited scope and generated uncertainty in the practical application of the law. This situation highlights the need for a deeper analysis to help consolidate a coherent and rights-based legal framework
