A pregnant 19-year-old Hollywood, Ala., woman is charged with rape after she signed up for state assistance and listed a 14-year-old boy as her baby’s father.
Soon-to-be-mother Mekenzie Leigh Guffey told Hollywood police she and the boy met through a mutual friend at a McDonald’s in nearby Scottsboro in December and the two had sex multiple times in her car in a remote area near the Tennessee River known as the “sand barge,” Hollywood police Chief Jason Hepler said Tuesday.

Hepler said Guffey even stayed at the boy’s home for at least a couple of weeks since December, apparently with his parents’ permission.
The chief, who has a 13-year-old son, said an investigation is continuing into the boy’s parents’ involvement.
Guffey, now between five and six weeks pregnant, is charged with second-degree rape, second-degree sex abuse, enticing a child for immoral purposes, traveling to meet a child for unlawful sex acts, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography, Hepler said.
