Nick Wilson (R. WIlliamsburg ) filed #HB269 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. His bill makes that kind of #sexualcontact a Class D #Felony, unless the victim is under the age of 12, then it increases the penalty to a Class C Felony.

#Kentucky #GOP State Rep #NickWilson sponsored #HB269 removing the criminal penalty for #sex with a first cousin, no longer defining the act as #incest.
