Consent is usually not a factor. A brother and sister who choose to engage in an intimate encounter, for example, are committing incest because they share a close bloodline. Serious legal ramifications often arise when one of the individuals is a minor, such as in the case of a parent and child, or an uncle and niece. In cases like this, the adult can be charged with serious sex crimes.
