Married First Cousins Have a Baby, Now Could go to Prison

Dateline...Eagle Mountain, Utah. Michael Lee and Angela Peang are first cousins and are married. Also the couple is super excited about the birth of their first child.

From NYPOST the baby is due in May, and according to Utah state law this could put them behind bars. The baby "proves" they had sex, which in Utah is a crime because they are related.

The couple were literally "kissing cousins" at age seven and they would sneak away and spend time together. They were married in Colorado, where it is legal.

“I feel the same about gay marriage, even though I’m not gay. We got married, not because we’re religious, but to protect ourselves legally.” - Angela Peang

 

The kissing and "doing it" cousins could face up to $10,000 in fines and five years in prison.
