Background[]
Baby Mendez-Spears parents Jan Spears and Paul Mendez.
Things finally came to a head between Jan and Jason while they were on the island. She tired of his abusive behavior and obsessive drinking, and found herself sucked in by Paul Mendez and his promises to make her a star.
Paul takes Jan and rapes her the night their baby was conceived.
She started to realize that something was wrong, but before she could get away from him, Paul held her down and raped her, taking her virginity, and leaving her with gonorrhea...and a baby on the way.

Jan was utterly humiliated by the experience, and begged Shawn, who found her, not to tell anyone. When she, and then everyone else, discovered she was pregnant.
