  • You could argue that since it’s illegal, victims who are already adults will be afraid to come forward since it was technically illegal for them too once they became adults.

    But like I said, the compromise is making only same generation incest legal, or making a certain age difference illegal so stuff like siblings and cousins where it’s a lot less likely to be grooming are fine.



  • Abuse is abuse. It’s not consensual, and would still be treated as such. We have the same policy for workplaces, schools, and prisons like you said.

    If most cases are abuse then those cases will still be illegal, but because they are abuse, not because they are incest.

    A sort of compromise could be keeping inter-generational incest illegal, but not same generation. But still, setting the illegality criteria at actual abuse makes more sense to me.
