Overview

• Kentucky state representative and Survivor winner Nick Wilson introduced a bill that inadvertently removed 'first cousins' from the list of relationships considered incestuous in the state.
• Wilson blamed the error on an 'inadvertent change' during the drafting process and withdrew the bill the same day.
• The original intent of the bill was to broaden the definition of incest to include 'sexual contact', not just intercourse.
• Wilson has since refiled the bill with the 'first cousin' language intact, making no other changes to current law.
• The representative hopes his mistake doesn't hurt the chances of the corrected version of the bill, which he believes is a good bill aimed at combating familial and cyclical abuse.
