Wisconsin 720 Law Enforcement Academy Phase III Practice Exam

Incest hinges on how closely you’re related by blood. The statement being tested defines incest as sexual contact with someone who is a second cousin or closer, meaning relationships up to and including second cousins fall under incest. That includes parent/child, siblings, aunts/uncles with nieces/nephews, first cousins, and second cousins. Sexual contact with someone who isn’t related, or with a more distant relative than a second cousin, isn’t considered incest under this definition. Consent or coercion is about whether the act is voluntary and criminal in other ways, but it doesn’t change the kinship-based definition of incest itself. So the option describing sexual contact with a second cousin or closer matches the law.
