Whoa! The plot thickens. It's now alleged that Lisa Clark not only had sex with the 15-year-old, she also got pregnant and married him.

From AccessNorthGA.com:

Dawson County probate officials confirm the Tuesday marriage of a 37 year old Gainesville woman and the 15 year old neighbor she's accused of molesting.

Members of the boy's family said over the weekend 37-year-old Lynnette Clark is pregnant with the boy's child and that they were married last week in Dawson County.

Dawson County probate officials have confirmed that the marriage took place last Tuesday, but declined to provide additional comments, saying Judge Jennifer Burt who did not marry the couple would release a statement on the marriage Monday afternoon.

Judy Hayles, the boy's grandmother, said she received a notice of the marriage from Dawson County because she is the boy's guardian.

Also according to Hayles, the relationship between Clark and the boy has been going on for two years.

"A piece of garbage, pure garbage," Hayles said about Clark. "She is a pedophile, plain and simple. That's exactly what she is, scum of the earth."

Hayles said she found love letters from the woman to the teen and when she confronted the boy, he confirmed that they were having an affair, according to the report.

Hayles is working to end the marriage.
