Casey Aldridge is NOT the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’ baby?

News that Britney’s sister was pregnant at 16 - under the legal age for sex in the U.S. - forced 18-year-old Casey into hiding. But now Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.

Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101?. “Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.

They say the real reason is that an older man could be charged with statutory rape if revealed to be the father of an under-aged girl’s baby.

“The man many suspect is the father, however, would face charges and probably prison time if he were to come forward and admit he had sex with her,” Star magazine states. The magazine quotes “two separate Spears family insiders” who believe the father is someone who works on Jamie Lynn’s kids’ show. “Jamie Lynn has been working on Zoey since she was 13,” one of the sources said. “In Hollywood, little girls grow up fast, and she is no exception.

“With everything that has gone on in her family, she needed someone to look up to. “But the man she found seems to have completely taken advantage of her.” Another family source added: “Some of us have doubts as to the legitimacy of the claim that Casey is the father. “Before the news of the pregnancy, how often did you see them together? “Jamie Lynn has dated Casey on and off over the past two years. “But it was not steady. In fact, she was looking to date Kevin Federline’s brother about a year ago. “Jamie Lynn went through a time of partying, and Casey was just a part of that.”

No matter who the father is, insiders believe the pregnancy will be the death knoll for Jamie Lynn’s burgeoning career. It will leave them terrified that she will prove to be the new Britney - and also that Nickelodeon, the TV channel behind Zoey 101, will be terrified of ruining its clean-cut image. “I cant think of any way that Nickelodean could keep Jamie Lynn’s show on the air, said PR expert Michael Levine. “If they do, advertisers will drop it like crazy. No advertiser wants to be associated with a minor getting pregnant.”
