Javno.hr, Croatia: An ABC soap opera has waded into the controversial subject of teenage sex with a story about the first sexual experience of a 16-year-old girl that parallels the real-life situation of teen idol Jamie Lynn Spears.

"This is something that made sense for our characters," Frank Valentini, the show's executive producer told Reuters. "We certainly don't mean to be sensational but we do feel it's important to introduce contemporary and relevant topics."
