It Might Be a Felony to Impregnate Jamie Lynn Spears

Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldrige

It turns out that Jamie Lynn Spears' baby's daddy might have committed a felony by impregnating Jamie, according to Louisiana state law. Us Magazine reports:

Jamie Lynn Spears' pregnancy, at age 16, has raised legal questions because of Casey Aldridge's age. Aldridge is believed to be 18 or 19. There is still no word on where the sexual intercourse took place. However, if it happened in Spears' home state of Louisiana, and if Aldridge was 19 at the time, he could be charged with what the state calls "felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile," which is defined as "sexual intercourse with consent between someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17." If he was under 19, then he might be charged with a misdemeanor. Laws vary from state-to-state."

Wow, that sucks. This kid is totally screwed. Its mommy is a pregnant minor and its daddy might be a felon. And its auntie (Britney Spears)... well, yea... there's really not much else I have to say righ there. This whole situation is tough. See kids, don't make bad decisions like Jamie Lynn did, it could mess up your whole life.

On another note, there's something hilarious to me about Louisiana state law. I don't know anything about it, but I just picture a group of fat redneck sheriffs and deputies wearing beige uniforms walking around some alligator-infested Louisiana swamp lands with little twigs of wheat in their mouths talking some sort of incoherent southern mumbling saying something like "Check them there contents of them there alligators' stomach for traces of that Aldridge boy... I got myself a hunch he done been killed there." Then the deputy says... "But dem there Mr. Sheriff, Casey Aldridge is done there alive and well with the Spears family... this isn't a murder investigation." Then the sheriff gets disgruntled and starts shouting out "Damn boy, don't you talk back to me. I said check the stomach! Stick your hand right down that there alligator's throat! I reckon you 'gone see that Aldridge boy's head down in there..." Then the deputy says.. "But Mr. Sheriff...." Then the sheriff hits him with a stick and spits on him and says: "Dammit boy, just do what I done there tell you!"
