Bad Love

Lynnette Clark, 37, of Gainesville, GA has been charged with child molestation after it emerged that she was carrying on a 2 year sexual relationship with a 15 year-old boy, a friend of her own teenage son's. Members of the boy's family say that Clark is pregnant with the boy's child, and that they have been married. The boy, who began this alleged relationship when he was 13, lives with his grandmother, who as his legal guardian received notice of the marriage from the county.

15 sounds a little young to get legally married, even in Georgia, doesn't it? Turns out that Georgia state law permits marriages at younger than the usual age of 16 when the bride is pregnant. Pragmatism at its best.

The grandmother says she permitted her grandson to spend a lot of weekends over at Clark's house because he was friends with her son. I wonder what that poor teenage Clark kid has to say about what was going on with his friend and mom after the boys had stopped playing on the Xbox and it was time for bed.
