Ga. woman who married
teen gives birth to couple's baby
A woman accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy she
later married gave birth to the couple's child over
the weekend, the woman's lawyer said Monday.
A pregnant Lisa Clark, 37, appeared on The Tyra
Banks Show Dec. 15. She gave birth to a boy.
Lisa Clark, 37, gave birth to a 7-pound, 9-ounce
boy Saturday, Daniel Sammons said.
The baby could be put in state custody unless
Clark can arrange the necessary paperwork for a
friend to take temporary custody before Clark is
discharged from the hospital and returned to jail,
where she will be held without bond, Sammons
said.
"Right now, she's struggling with the trauma of
having the child torn loose from her arms and
possibly placed in foster care while she goes back
to jail," Sammons said in a telephone
interview.
Clark's teenage husband turned up in Ohio
earlier this month after disappearing from a
juvenile home in Georgia. It was not immediately
clear where he was Monday.

District Attorney Lee Darragh did not return
calls seeking comment.
A spokeswoman for Georgia's Division of Family
and Children Services said the agency was not
currently involved in the case.
Clark and the boy she is accused of molesting
married in November. Georgia law allows children
regardless of age to wed if there is a
pregnancy.
Clark had been free on bond, but was arrested
again last week after authorities said she had been
communicating with her husband in violation of a
condition of her release. Arraignment was set for
Feb. 24.

Runaway teen groom found
in Ohio
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. — A 15-year-old boy
whose 37-year-old wife is due to give birth to the
couple's baby this month was found in Ohio after
disappearing from a juvenile home, authorities
said.
A pregnant Lisa Clark, 37, appears on The Tyra
Banks Show, in December. Clark married her teen
groom in November.
His wife, Lisa Clark, was charged with hindering
the apprehension of a child in connection with his
disappearance, said Douglas County Sheriff Phil
Miller. She is expecting the teenager's baby in
about a week.
Richard Mecum of the U.S. Marshals Service said
authorities tracked the boy to a residence in
Cleveland through a package Clark mailed. The
package contained a cellphone and a hefty sum of
money.
Posing as a delivery man, a deputy dropped the
package off at the home and was able to determine
that the boy was living there, authorities said.
Mecum said the residents were unaware that he was a
runaway.
Clark, who was lodged in the Douglas County
Jail, is expecting the teenager's baby in a week to
10 days. Her attorney, Dan Sammons, said last week
she had no role in his vanishing and had no idea
where he was.
The two were wed in November. Clark, who was
previously charged with child molestation, was
released on bond on the condition that she not have
contact with the teen.
Clark has said she still hopes to make a life
with the child groom and their baby.
