Lisa Lynette Clark Free From Prison After Marrying 15-Year Old

Lisa Lynette Clark, a Georgia woman who married a 15-year-old boy and later had his child, was released from prison Friday.

Clark finished a two-year prison sentence after pleaded guilty in Douglas County to aiding her teenage husband's flight out of state in February 2006. The teenager, who was on probation for a burglary and was in a group home in DeKalb County, was caught in Ohio and returned to Georgia.

The teen had been on probation for a burglary. Authorities caught him within two weeks and brought him back to Georgia.

In 2006 Clark spent nine months in jail after pleading guilty in Hall County to statutory rape, stemming from her relationship with the teen she married.

Clark was 36 when she married one of her teenage sons' 15-year-old friends in November 2005. The couple was married by a retired county probate judge who performed the ceremony in the driveway of his home.

Hall County authorities arrested Clark the next day on charges of sexually molesting a minor.

While in jail, Clark gave birth to a 7-pound, 9-ounce son she named Skye Cobain Gonzalez, in part to honor the late Kurt Cobain, founder of the rock group Nirvana. The baby was placed in a foster home.
