Ricky Martin has been accused of incest by his 21-year-old nephew and could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted, reports indicate.

The singer was hit with a restraining order stemming from a domestic violence incident in Puerto Rico earlier this month, however the victim's identity had been withheld.

Ummmmm, no risk of pregnancy so what's the issue (unless he's a pedo)?

I honestly don't understand why incest laws exist.

As long as they're all consenting adults, and understand the risk of congenital defects, why is it any of mine or the state's business?

Besides, it usually takes several generations of inbreeding to result in serious defects.

To become noticeable you mean, the higher risk factors associated with it is still embedded in all those future descendants. Slowly diluted out with non related breeding
If it is good practice to avoid it with your livestock you'd think it would apply to humans as well.

I think it’s illegal for good reason, probably because due to incest happening within family systems children can get groomed by older family members into engaging in incest, even if the incest only happened at the age of consent the abusive manipulation may have started many years prior. That and the problems of inbreeding and it being really grim.

Interesting fact I discovered today is Elon Musks father Errol who is 75 has fathered 2 children with his step daughter :sick:
It’s apparently the reason Elon has nothing to do with him.


Edit. Not incest in the legal sense of the word but still very weird.

Incest is very bad and should never ever happen... Unless it's between identical twin sisters.

People were so secretive back in the years go by. I bet a lot unknowingly married their siblings and half-siblings.
