A pregnant Jackson County woman is charged with rape after signing up for Medicaid and listing a 14-year-old boy as the child's father, police said.

Mekenzie Leigh Guffey, 19, of Hollywood, admitted to having sex with the boy multiple times in her car in a remote area of the town, police Chief Jason Hepler said. Hollywood is a northeast Alabama town with about 1,000 residents.

"She was proud of him being the father until she found out we were going to become involved," Hepler said. "She told us she didn't count but it was more than a few times that they were together."

Guffey is charged with second-degree rape, second-degree sex abuse, enticing a child for immoral purposes, traveling to meet a child for an unlawful sex act, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child pornography.

She was taken into custody on Friday. The pornography charges resulted from a police review of her cellphone that yielded sexually explicit video and photos, including some Guffey sent to the boy.
