Teen's pregnant wife posts bail, leaves town (37yr old wife, 15yr old husband)

Lisa Lynnette Clark, 37 and pregnant, whose wedding trip led to the Hall County Detention Center after she married a 15-year-old boy, has been released from jail.

Clark posted $1,200 bond Friday, ending her nine-day stay at the county lockup in Gainesville. She is charged with sexually molesting a minor, her husband, whom she married Nov. 8.

Clark met the youth through her teen son. She says she is pregnant with the 15-year-old's child.

"I cannot believe Hall County uncaged this animal," said Hayles, who wants the marriage annulled or the couple divorced. "She belongs in a cage."

Clark got out of jail about noon. Clad in black and clearly pregnant, she walked across the street to a bail-bonding agency to arrange her release on a $10,000 bail.

"They should have told more of the truth," Clark told Atlanta's WSB-TV. She didn't elaborate.

'She didn't seduce me,' teen says

Can statements made by a newlywed 15-year-old boy be used against his 37-year-old, pregnant wife, charged with molesting him sexually?

How a judge decides that question could determine the status of the case against Lisa Lynnette Clark, who married her son's playmate and is reputed to be carrying his child, the teen's lawyer said Thursday. The case could come down to the issue of "marital privilege," Gainesville lawyer Daniel Sammons said.
Clark, a Gainesville resident, remained jailed under $10,000 bail Thursday at Hall Detention Center. She is charged with sexually molesting a minor — her husband, who turned 15 in August.

The newlywed husband, meanwhile, defended his wife Thursday. "She didn't seduce me or anything like that," the boy told Atlanta television station WGCL. "She's done a lot for me, you know. She's been good to me."

The boy's declaration underscores a case that already is getting heard in the court of public attention. The story of the runaway groom and his older bride has become blog and radio fodder and has drawn reporters to Gainesville like hungry cats to milk.

I am the parent of a child under 15.
I don't care if the adult child molester is male or female.
It is child sexual abuse, and is against the law.
I happen to actually have a daughter, but I don't think I would be happy if a sexually perverted middle aged woman was sexually abusing my minor son.
And it is sexual abuse of a minor child.
Little boys deserve protection against adult sexual predators as much as little girls do.
