Jennifer Lopez's toyboy lover could be sent to jail for 90 days.

The singer-and actress began dating dancer Casper Smart a few weeks ago and it has now been revealed the 24-year-old hunk has racked up a number of speeding and traffic-related charges.

According to police records, they include speeding over 100 miles per hour and illegal drag racing. He was also charged with driving without a valid license in 2004, 2006 and 2007 while in 2005 he allegedly evaded electronic toll charges. In 2004 and 2005 he also reportedly exceeded speeds of 65 miles per hour.

Casper posted $26 000 in relation to the charges - which are still pending - and in March he pleaded no contest.

He is now scheduled to appear in court on January 5 2012 and must complete 10 days of community service before then. If found guilty he could be sent to jail for 90 days and pay a $500 fine.

When he appears in court, it is unclear whether Jennifer, 42, will be supporting him as she is said to be treating the relationship as a “fun fling” and is enjoying getting to know Casper.

A source has said: “They are dating and having a good time. They've been getting more open with their flirting for weeks.

“It's a fun fling. It's not meant to turn into anything more.”

Jennifer has three-year-old twins, Max and Emme with estranged husband Marc Anthony. - Bang Showbiz
