Contrary To Popular Belief …
… you can’t marry — or even become intimate with — your sister in Idaho. Case in point, a 36YO Boise woman and her half brother were arrested and charged with felony incest. Brian L. Reed, 30, and Marilyn R. Lee, 36, are both being held in the Ada County Jail on felony incest charges. Reed, Lee’s half brother, is a registered sex offender who was already in jail on a probation violation when he was arrested on the same charge Tuesday, according to Patrick Orr, Idaho Statesman. Orr goes on to report: “Only 16 people have been arrested in Idaho on the charge of incest between 2004-to-2008 — a list which includes only one woman. Eight of the 16 arrested have been juvenile males, according to ISP reports.” Full report here .
