Kentucky Republican Pushes Bill to Make Sex With First Cousin Not Incest A Kentucky Republican introduced legislation that would amend the state's law so a person who had sex with their first cousin would no longer be criminally liable for incest, before withdrawing it and claiming an error was made during the drafting process. House Bill 269, which state Representative Nick Wilson sponsored, was introduced on January 16 to the House Committee on Committees. According to the Kentucky General Assembly website, it would have struck "first cousin from the list of familial relationships" defined as unlawful incest in the state. In a statement sent to Newsweek, Wilson described this as a "mistake" in a wider bill intended to extend legal protection against incest, which he'd withdrawn and refiled leaving the "first cousin" reference in place. Wilson, then a 27-year-old public defender, first shot to prominence when he won the 37th season of the CBS reality TV show Survivor in 2018, called Survivor: David vs. Goliath, before returning for the 40th season, featuring the winners from previous shows in 2020. In November 2022, Wilson ran unopposed for the 82nd District of the Kentucky House after Republican incumbent Regina Huff retired. Kentucky law states that a person is guilty of incest if they engage in sexual relations with a person they know to be "his or her parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, great-grandparent, great-grandchild, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother, sister, first cousin, ancestor, or descendent." The initial amendment introduced by Wilson, if passed, would have removed first cousin from this list. Both the initial and updated version of Wilson's bill would also amend Kentucky law on parole for violent offenders to include a person "who has been convicted of incest by sexual contact" within the definition. In a statement provided to Newsweek, Wilson described the part in his initial legislation removing first cousins from the illegal incest list as a mistake that had since been rectified. He commented: "I filed HB 269 yesterday. The purpose of the bill is to add 'sexual contact' to the incest statute. Currently, incest only applies in cases of intercourse. So sexual touching/groping by uncles, stepdads or anyone with a familial relationship is not included in incest. My bill makes that kind of sexual contact a Class D Felony, unless the victim is under the age of 12, then it increases the penalty to a Class C Felony. "During the drafting process, there was an inadvertent change, which struck 'first cousins' from the list of relationships included under the incest statute, and I failed to add it back in. During today's session, I will withdraw HB 269 and refile a bill with the 'first cousin' language intact. The fact that I was able to file a bill, catch the mistake, withdraw the bill and refile within a 24-hour period shows that we have a good system. "This is a bill to combat a problem of familial and cyclical abuse that transcends generations of Kentuckians. I understand that I made a mistake, but I sincerely hope my mistake doesn't hurt the chances of the corrected version of the bill. It is a good bill, and I hope it will get a second chance." Wilson's initial bill was called "truly insane" by Eliza Orlins, a New York public defender who previously appeared as a contestant on Survivor: Vanuatu and Survivor. https://www.newsweek.com/kentucky-bill-sex-first-cousins-not-incest-nick-wilson-1861398 2 Likes

Man made rules, if we all met these rules it wouldn’t be alien to us. I know someone from jigawa who married his first cousin, he said marrying first cousin is not a taboo in their place , that it helps to strengthen the bond of marriage . I don’t know how true can anyone from that part confirm ? 3 Likes |

christistruth01: Old testament law did not forbid first cousin marriage. Infact it was quite common in the USA...until there was improved understanding of genetics in the 20th century that led to laws being passed against it. Even then, it is still common in many parts of the world (and taboo in others). 1 Like |

nairalanda1: It did Brother and Sister cannot marry and the Bible classifies Cousins as brother and Sisters because their Parents are Siblings Lot was Abraham's Nephew but the Bible also called Lot Abraham's brother though he was actually the Son of Abraham's brother Leviticus 18:14 English Standard Version 14 You shall not uncover the unclothedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. |
Re: Republicans Push To Legalize First Cousin's Sex by nairalanda1(m): 2:02pm On Jan 18 |
christistruth01: No, cousins were not classified as brothers and sisters in the bible. Here is an analysis of the appropriate scripture. First cousin marriages were common among Jews until the 20th century, as well as in other parts (even among christians). Here in Africa, most of us regard it as taboo anyway. Some don't. 3 Likes |

nairalanda1: It does Even the Catholic Church and Orthodox churches banned it Here it is you must not dishonour your close relative Cousins are close relatives Leviticus 20:19 Leviticus 20:19 (NIV) “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with the sister of either your mother or your father, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of you would be held responsible.

Why is emphasis on first cousin and not all your cousin's? That's one. Another is, are we now saying that out of all the women/men in the world;it's now your cousin that is next to start developing feelings for. |

christistruth01: They do now, (note, I am not defending cousin marriages) Here it is you must not dishonour your close relative True, but there is a clear definition of who close relatives are, and it does not include cousin Leviticus 20:19 That is actually an aunt....not a cousin. The Bible called Lot who was Abraham Nephew his Brother And Abraham married his sister, Issac married his cousin, and Jacob married his father's cousin's daughters....
