To: mimi from mi
was charged Thursday with one count of third-degree incest

What would consitute a 2nd and 1st degree offense? Is third degree worse than 2nd degree? These degree things confuse me.

Oh and BTW - this is just maximum icky.

Well the daughter’s not a minor, so maybe first degree is reserved for youngsters.
In any case give her a few years she’ll sue him and the college too.

Typically a “1st Degree” charge is more serious than a “3rd degree” charge. It gets confusing because a “3rd offense” indicates repetitions behavior and will often have enhanced sentencing.

A first degree offense would probably apply in the case of force, or of a minor’s involvement. I don;t know this state’s statutes and am too lazy to look them up.

Criminal law is inherently icky and demoralizing.
