A 33-year-old Stone Mountain woman who gave birth to a baby boy on Jan. 9 has been indicted on charges that she raped the 15-year-old father.

A DeKalb County grand jury indicted Janelle Goforth on Sept. 25 on two counts of statutory rape for having sex with the teen.

A police report said the two had sex at Goforth’s home in April 2011. DeKalb District Attorney’s Office spokesman Erik Burton said Goforth and the boy met at the Kensington MARTA station.

Goforth was arrested after the baby’s birth. Burton said the hospital notified the police about the birth.

Goforth is out on bond and no arraignment date has been set.

Crossroads, please remain professional. The heading of this article does not in any way reflect the professionalism and standard DeKalb citizens deserve. Let's leave the term "baby daddy" and all other such terms to those less enlightened. This slang term minimizes the innocent child and teenage victim and brings otherwise educated reporters down to a street level. Thank you.
