16-yr-old to pay child support to 19-yr-old mom
It's a situation fraught with so many twists and turns that if you saw it on a movie screen you might not believe it.
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.

The Father, The Son and the Holy Sperm
Earl Paulk, the celebrity archbishop of a Protestant mega-church in the Atlanta suburbs is facing the scandal of his life after his family revealed at the pulpit that he had slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her.
This isn't the first time Paulk has been embroiled in a sex scandal...
He was forced out of the first church he pastored, the Hemphill Church of God, because of an extramarital affair to which he later admitted.
Following this a member of the parish, Mona Brewer, accused Archbishop Paulk of manipulating her into an affair that lasted 14 years, from 1989 to 2003, by telling her that sleeping with him was her surest path to eternal salvation (that old chestnut eh!)
A ghostwriter who helped write Earl Paulk's autobiography, also said she had an affair with him lasting two years.
Despite this, the 80-year-old pastor has led a charmed existence, fending off sexual harassment suits while also earning praise from politicians all the way up to the President of the United States for his "extraordinary work for God and the community".
The secret of Archbishop Paulk's love child was exposed by a court-ordered paternity test as part of a perjury investigation, and confirmed to the congregation of the Chapel Hill Harvester Church by none other than the love child himself, 34-year-old D E Paulk, who had been known until then as the archbishop's nephew.
