| Woman Who Married Boy Indicted
GAINESVILLE, Georgia (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 November 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.
The child was ordered to remain on probation and could not return home with grandmother Judy Hayles, who was his former guardian.
Hayles filed a police report on October 6 when she learned from a friend that Clark was pregnant.
