Lisa Clark, a woman from Georgia, America, says she fell for and married her son's 15 year old teenage friend at age 36.
She claims he initially told her he was 17 when he was actually 14.
This woman who married her son's 15-year-old friend got emotional during a TV appearance on This Morning talking about their relaitonship.
They
confided in each other while she was going through a messy divorce and
her family accepted the relationship, despite her ending up in jail
because of it.
She told the hosts of the programme, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford:
"When you have two people who have very low self esteem who come together. I was drinking a lot. My dad had just died, I was going through a bad divorce because of being cheated on a lot".
"There was a lot of issues. He was just there and very persistent and it just happened. It was crazy. It was the stupidest thing I've ever done. Wrong place, wrong time, something I deeply regret."
Lisa
eventually fell pregnant and the pair were able to marry when he turned
15 due to the laws in Georgia, although she was later arrested for her
relationship with him when he was younger.
Lisa served time in jail but the pair got back together when she was released and had another child.
Eamonn told her:
"In theory, you are a sex offender, many would class you as a sex offender or a paedophile."
Lisa responded:
"A paedophile is someone who is attracted to someone who hasn't reached puberty yet," adding: "It was so long ago now, I've moved on, it's not a part of my life now."
The pair are
now separated and she insists they are focusing on co-parenting
their two children and she has put the relationship and her mistake
behind her.
