Probably Should Have Looked Into That

Here is another example of how no matter how clear a law is, people will still find a way to break it. There is stupid, and stupid, but this lovely lady from Georgia, is stupid.

A pregnant 37-year-old Georgia woman who eloped with a 15-year-old boy was in jail on charges of child molestation, authorities in the southern state said on Tuesday.

Lisa Lynnette Clark was arrested last week in Hall County, Georgia a day after a judge married her and the unidentified teenager. Clark was being jailed in Gainesville, about 50 miles
northeast of Atlanta.

Clark and the teen had a sexual relationship, perhaps for as long as two years, according to the Hall County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the case. Clark's marriage to the boy does not protect her from prosecution, police said.

Under Georgia law, teenagers may marry as long as they are at least 16 and have the permission of a parent or guardian. Those restrictions are waived, however, when a female applicant is pregnant.

In a statement, the judge who issued the marriage license said she had complied with state law.

Wait are you saying that we could have gotten married when we knocked up our babysitter at age 11? Oh wait, you have to be from Georgia? Well, that sucks for us, and our 17 year-old daughter from Connecticut. We love you Chrsytal.
