Man and step-daughter caught having sex arrested for incest, though not blood related

[apples and oranges]

Kelcey Nicholas, 28, was caught sleeping with 21-year-old Lataura Jarrett on Sept. 19 at their Mount Nebo home in Nicholas County (West Virginia).

Officers were checking on Nicholas' previous home-confinement charge when they walked in to find the duo in bed.

Usually, the couple would not be prosecuted for the incident — as they aren't related by blood and both are over the age of consent.

But they are bizarrely facing as much as 15 years in prison after Sheriff David Hopkins cited state law that a daughter is the natural offspring of a person's husband or wife.

1. If the woman were younger, still in school, then I could see this. But meh.

Unless the 28 yr old was "dad" to the 21 yr old for many years, in which case a power differential would exist. But even so, 21/28=meh.

4. As socially inappropriate as this may be, I don't happen to think it should

be illegal. They are consenting adults with no blood relation.

They are both horse's asses, though. The poor wife.
