The father of Jamie Lynn Spears‘ unborn baby is reportedly not her (ex-)boyfriend Casey Aldridge but actually a much older man.

A new report in Star magazine claims the father is actually an executive of Jamie Lynn’s Nickelodeon show, Zoey 101 but the man would be likely to face statutory rape charges if he admitted sleeping with the 16 year old actress - Casey only avoided the charges because at 18, he is within two years of Jamie Lynn’s age.

An inside source told the magazine: “Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified.”

“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.”

“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.”

Jamie Lynn confirmed her pregnancy last week, saying she was 12 weeks pregnant but sources close to the family claim she is closer to 18 weeks along.
