Is This Headline Confusing: Woman Carrying Teen Groom's Child Indicted
or what???

<snip>

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- A 37-year-old woman who married a 15-year-old boy was indicted Tuesday on charges of child molestation, statutory rape and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

Lisa Lynette Clark, who says she is pregnant with the teenager's child, was arrested earlier this month after their Nov. 8 wedding. She has been ordered not to come within 100 feet of the boy.

Georgia law allows children of any age to marry - without parental consent - if the bride-to-be is pregnant. The law dates back to the early 1960s and was written to prevent out-of-wedlock births.

Last week, a judge ruled that the teenager, who skipped school to get married, violated his probation on a previous burglary charge. The judge ordered the boy not to have contact with Clark.

2. Yep, and I got sucked into it too.
With the 'carrying' 'child', I thought it was going to be something about her holding a swaddling infant screaming during a wedding ceremony of two teenagers. :shrug:

7. thank Gawd the sex police are around
what would we do without our government officials taking care of the really important issues, namely, who's having sex without social sanction. Let's have a praise-a-thon to thank our Lord for giving us such foresightful leaders. Moooooooooo. Bahhhhhhhhh. Oinkkkk.

(note: social dynamics still being what they are, I wouldn't respond the same way if the genders but not the ages were reversed. That's about the only exception I'd make to the above sentiment.)

Boink and be merry

9. Why yes. . .Georgia law mandates marriage for pedophiles
as long as the woman is pregnant. Of course, they needed a constitutional amendment to protect the "sanctity" of marriage from those adult gays.

10. Guess there was a lot of child sex going on down in Georgia
in the 50s and 60s, to the point that they actually had to make it a law . . .

Note to Georgia (freepturd) child molesters . . . make sure you knock up that little kid before you're caught . . . then you can have a child bride and continue your sinful ways ad nauseum . . . probably generationally . . .
