I Thought There Laws Against This

A 51 year old marries a 16 old in Las Vegas? It happened the other day when a 51 year old actor/child molestor from the TV show Lost married his 16 year old girlfriend.
From CNN: It was a twist that even "Lost" fans probably didn't see coming.
Actor Doug Hutchison, 51, announced that he has married his 16-year-old girlfriend, Courtney Alexis Stodden.
According to a notice on his website, Hutchison has been enjoying wedded bliss with the aspiring country singer for a few weeks.
"Doug Anthony Hutchison and Courtney Alexis Stodden became husband and wife on Friday May 20th, 2011, at 12 p.m. in The Little Chapel of Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada," the statement on his site says. "Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison live together happily ensconced in their Hollywood Hills home with their lil' pups, Everette and Tuna.

Not surpisingly, Hutchison's web site is down.
In Las Vegas/Clark County, you need to be 18 to marry. If you are 16-17 years old, you need the permission of the parents of the 16 or 17 year old. Either the parent has to be present when they get their marriage license or present a notorized letter to the clerk giving permission.
No matter what, this is just sick and I hope that this "actor" is never allowed to work again.

However, don't be surprised if this is a prank
