Oklahoma Woman Pleads Guilty To Incest For Marrying Mom

New York: A woman from Oklahoma, who tied the knot with her mother has pleaded guilty to committing incest. Misty Spann (26) was sentenced to 10 years probation for the marriage to her biological mother.

The defendant was set to stand trial but instead entered a guilty plea for last year’s nuptials to mum Patricia Ann Spann. Misty was raised by her grandmother after her 44-year-old mother lost custody of her three kids. Her mum told authorities that the pair reconnected in 2014 and “hit it off.” In March 2016, the mother-daughter duo took their taboo relationship to the next level and got hitched, according to a marriage license application.

Patricia Spann said that she didn’t think the nuptials broke any laws because she was no longer listed as a parent on her daughter’s birth certificate. Their incestuous marriage was discovered by authorities during a child welfare investigation, the Associated Press reported.
