A Florida mother and her adult son were arrested on incest charges after a domestic violence call uncovered a years-long sexual relationship, authorities said.
Deputies identified the suspects as 46-year-old Christina Clemens and 22-year-old Shane Clemens of Lakeland, Florida.
Deputies initially responded to a domestic disturbance where the mother accused her son of striking her, police said.
Shane Clemens was initially arrested on a domestic violence battery allegation, according to investigators.
While speaking with detectives, the 22-year-old suspect allegedly disclosed that he had been in a sexual relationship with his mother. He claimed the relationship had been ongoing since he was 18, according to the sheriff.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said investigators then questioned the mother about her son’s statements.
