Kentucky Rep. Nick Wilson Refiles Incest Bill After Initial Drafting Error

The Survivor winner aims to broaden the definition of incest to include 'sexual contact', not just intercourse, in an effort to combat familial abuse.

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.
