Iowa Man Arrested & Charged with Incest

Lyle Trip of West Union, IA, has been jailed and charged with multiple criminal counts, including sexual abuse and incest. He is accused of having sex with two young members of his family. Trip has been charged with two counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Abuse, Incest, Lascivious Acts with a Child, and Indecent Contact with a Child.

Keep in mind that Trip has only been charged with these crimes -- not convicted. It's very possible that he is completely innocent of all charges.

But, it would be also good to remember this case and the charges filed the next time you hear somebody tell you that incest will have to be legalized if same-sex marriage is allowed to continue.
