Wow. This is really interesting.

Two siblings of a similar age (two years or less) having sex is not considered incest. Because the slightness of the age gap prevents an overwhelming control.

Especially that!

Actually, I've read (more than once) that although full-blown sexual contact between siblings raised together is unlikely, minor "playing doctor" stuff is actually really common.

Any mention of that clex_monkie?

I've read that too in several books and apparently it was discussed a little in Soc last semester during one of the classes I missed. It wasn't really talked about in this seminar because this was mostly focusing on how to investigate child abuse and how to identify it. We only spent so long on incest because it's a large part of the sexual abuse portion.

Any chance you could pull a reading list from that class and point us in the direction of some repuable sources?

My mind is still boggling with the idea that there are statutes of limitations in other states. There's no such thing where I come from. A crime is a crime and it never stops being a crime.

The only thing that causes contention is that sometimes people are prosecuted and sentenced according to laws that existed at the time of the crime, rather than what the law and sentence is now.

I'm not entirely sure why they have statutes of limitations in other states. I'm sure they have reasons, I'm just... At a loss as to what they may be.

Absolutely fascinating. Seriously. *adds to faves for future reference*

Isn't it just?

Aw, you can't just say something like that and leave it there because now I'm curious. I always knew that being as how Arizona's laws are weird and I'm only at a community college that I wasn't getting as much information as I would at say ASU but I never thought I could be getting wrong information.

Any really big differences you could point out to me?
