16-yr-old to pay child support to 19-yr-old mom
-

It began when a 19-year-old girl from the town of Lancaster, Ohio was accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy. Jane Crane was allowed to stay at the child's Columbus-area home when allegations surfaced that her stepfather was being abusive.
But something apparently clicked between the girl and the underage son of those providing her temporary refuge. She's since been charged with unlawful sexual conduct, after allegedly having physical relations at least twice with the underage boy.
So far, the story is somewhat sad, but not that unusual.
But here's where it takes an odd turn. The teen became pregnant as a result of the encounter and paternity tests prove the boy is the father of the little girl, who was born in late April.
Now a court has ordered the youngster to pay $50 a month child support, despite the fact the act that resulted in the child's birth was apparently illegal.
Crane, meanwhile, could face up to 18 months in jail if she's convicted, and that's now prompted the boy's family to try and gain custody of the newborn. The baby is currently living with Crane and her family not far away.
The parents of the now 16-year-old say that because of the allegations against the stepfather, they don't think their granddaughter is safe and they want to take her home with them. They're also outraged that a teenager said to be the victim of a crime has to pay child support.
The unidentified boy's parents claim their son is having nightmares and problems sleeping and that his life has been changed forever because of his naïveté. His folks are hoping for a plea bargain to resolve the issue, even as the young mother awaits her own day in court this week.

shouldn't the boy blamed in someway, becuase I doubt at his age, he refused to have sex with that girl. He needs to stop acting like the victim and start taking care of his responsiblities

This child support thing is getting to far inside all circles. I find it hard to believe that this was an abuse issue. I mean, look at the Marcus Dixson case, and the Genarlo Wilson case? I think that this has been taken too far out of context to even have come to this sort of conclusion. And too when a child is thrown into the light of this subject matter, chaos is going to almost always break loose. Really now people--birth control--condoms never hurt anyone. So in my opinion, I think that they could have used better judgement before they let a child come into the fold.

yeah, this is pretty messed up. I understand the whole statutory rape thing, and it makes sense that she be punished for having sex with the boy, but I think it's a good idea for the boy to have to pay child support, because i strongly believe that while their sexual acts were not consensual by law, they may have (and i think most likely) consensual between the two parties.

No one needs to be PUNISHED. Judges and Attorneys will make sure some one pays Child Support so they can make their money. The biggest crooks are the Judges & Attorneys. The child should not go to a minimum wage state worker to watch. Let some one that cares for the child take care of it. Courts & the state do NOT care about children.

Does this mean If I get HIV from a woman I rape I can sue her for damages? And expect to win?
The only thing stupider than america's laws are the people that actually allow them to continue.
Grow up Yanks and start exercising some sort of common sense.
Stop orchestrating these lose-lose scenarios for you harmless citizens and then allowing them to continue.

This is a perfect example of where the rules completely don't work on people who are so irresponsible the people that make the rules can't even conceive their existence.
Speaking of the conceiving of existence, the only crime is bringing that life into this world in such a fubar circumstance.
If drugs are illegal why isn't sex? Which one does more damage? The cycle of idiots breeding continues...

Since both biological parents are basically unfit for custody, I'm curious as to how the judge determined that non-adult should be liable to pay child support to the adult sexual predator. Because technically that's what she is in terms of the law.
He's underage and cannot enter into legally binding contract -- he's liable for child support.
She's a sexual predator and got custody of the child (???) and was awarded child support from the person she sexually assualted (as far as the law is concerned anyway).
I'd love to read that judicial opinion!
Who needs law school? Apparently you can just pull insanse rulings out of your ass when your a judge. Isn't there someone reviewing this guy's work?

I wonder if the "but he was asking for it because he was dressed up like a slut" excuse actually worked. How about instead of having to pay for child support he pays for his psychotherapy?

Being an adult doesn't mean you're a good decision maker, it just makes you legally responsible for your actions.

So wait, a 19 year old girl commits statutory and she gets child support, but if a 19 year old boy commits statutory he gets prison time? Yeah, no, that seems fair. Fuck the guys. The 19 year old chic needs to go to prison and that child be taken away by the state.

Well I just think this is stupid. The "girl" for sleeping with someone underage and the "boy" for not using a freaking condom. If you're going to have sex, be aware of the consequences. It's not that hard.

That is a ridiculous statement. Of course it wouldn't be a big deal if he was 19. The issue here is his age! He was 15 when this occured. 15year olds can't seriously be expected to act rationally as adults, and I quite sure he didn't come on to her first. So him being forced to pay child support is ridiculous.
