Britney's Sister prego at age 16

[Danzig]

LOS ANGELES — Jamie Lynn Spears may not be the only one who is expecting. Casey Aldridge, the 19-year-old boyfriend Jamie Lynn says got her pregnant, could also be "expecting" — a visit from people wearing badges.


The Internet is abuzz with the question du jour: Since Jamie Lynn is 16 years old, does that make her a victim of statutory rape?

If Casey is indeed the dad-to-be, and the blessed event took place in Jamie Lynn's home state of Louisiana, then the act could be classified as a "Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile," defined as "sexual intercourse with consent between someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17."

If Casey were tried and found guilty, he could face a maximum possible term of 10 years imprisonment, possibly with hard labor.

According to Louisiana Revised Statutes 14-80 and 14-42, an individual can legally consent to sexual intercourse when he/she is 17 years of age. And in cases (such as Spears') where the victim is 15 or 16, the defendant (Aldridge) must be no more than two years older for the sexual intercourse to be legal.

This kid will have all the money in the world.

People always talk about responsibility well.....they have millions of dollars...they can afford a kid easily. I don't think it's a big deal. Now if Jamie were some lowly McDonald's worker then maybe that would be sad...

[letswastemoney]

and who really cares how old the guy is.

yes let's throw the kid's father in jail...that's the smart thing to do! they obviously know each other very well. this isn't some random rape.

While I understand what I am reading and the law in this case, I highly doubt this would stick, they have been supposedly dating for 2 years, so for all we know they could have been going nuts when she was 15 years old and he was 17.

Don't we have more important as well as provocative ithuth to talk about around here?






Do you realize the stiffing on rye bread continues......in the night....when it's dark?

The only difference between a girl that gets knocked up at 16 and a 30 year old guy making fun of her for it, is that she was actually getting some before she turned 21!! she's made her bed and now she has to sleep in it, no reason to make fun of her to make yourself feel better.

On a second note, Lynn Spears was scheduled to have a parenting book come out sometime in 2008, according to the publisher yesterday, the book has been put on hold LOL

i just think it's a shame that so many are so irresponsible as to bring a child into the world when they aren't ready to raise one. if you want to screw up your own life, hey-go for it. but to bring an innocent into a rotten situation is the ultimate in selfishness imo. and money doesn't mean a damn thing. money doesn't raise a child, love it, or teach it right from wrong.

Bravo! I couldn't agree more. And that is the problem---no one THINKS. Just do what feels good at the time without a thought to consequences, which ends up involving the life of another human, who usually ends up brought up with the same uh, 'values.'

well, allow me to step in for a second.
i had a child when i was 17 and all these years i have put up with the stares and whispers behind my back.
you know what, shite happens. it happens to everyone in some way, shape, or form.
but people should not always be defined by the situations they put themselves in, but rather in the way they handle those situations.
unfortunate, well, that depends on your perspective i guess.
but i do get a kick out of all the degenerates here passing judgement, lol.

It is pretty funny, isn't it?

I agree with your above post, by the way.

i got married when i was 18, and tony was 21. had our first child nine months and one week later. of course we were told it would never last. that was 22 years ago, and still going strong.

and yeah, you're right--it is what you do with the situation.

but it pains me to see so many be selfish, go from relationship to relationship with no cares about how it affects the kids--oh, they'll be ok...

Now why should my post upset you so much? "Must be nice to by you." It is. You sound jealous. Please don't flatter yourself by thinking you are going to imtimidate me, I'll post when, where, and what I want, and I don't care what you don't like.

I hate Dubya and I would open MORE planned parenthood offices if it were up to me.

She's a final turn reject.

Intimidate you? You must be kidding. I hope you continue to post more of your holier than thou closed minded BS. In fact, I hope that it continues to dominate your posting as well.

I just want you.....to be you.

I don't think this is as much judgemental as it might be ironic. There is an irony here as it relates to the family, the book on parenting that the mother was coming out with, older sister's problems, issues, etc. Like it or not, when you are a celebrity and have some part of your life -- most often more than you could ever want -- in the public eye, there are always going aspects that put you, your actions, etc. -- your life -- into question.

I work with many professional athletes, entertainers, celebrities, etc. who often live and speak out of each side of their mouth. And of course, the opposite is true to, as there are others who live their live as they are.

In this case, I do not think this is an indictment of anyone or everyone who gets/got pregnant at 16 or any age for that mattter. Married, single, etc. doesn't matter to me either. I don't have an issue with that. I do think there is an irony, perhaps amusing or funny to some, as to what has gone on with the Spears family. However, I don't think it is taking pleasure at someone else's misfortune. I am not speaking to those people, nor will I ever. I don't think those people need anyone to comment to them. They are the way they are regardless.
