A mother and her son who have confessed to having “mind-blowing” sex with each other have gone into hiding after police revealed they could face 15 years in prison.
Kim West, now 51, fell pregnant with her son while she was studying and put him up for adoption.
However, since meeting again, some 30 years later, they’re now in a happy relationship and hope to get married and start a family together.
But, since going public with their relationship, they’ve had to go into hiding after US authorities became aware of their passionate romance.
If a member of the public complains about the couple, US police must investigate the complaints.
“Under State law, incest between two consenting adult is a third degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison,” a spokeswoman for Michigan State police told The Mirror.
“Anyone convicted of such an offence would also be required to sign the sex offenders register for life.”
However, the spokeswoman said she was “not aware” of police receiving a complaint about the couple.
“We are like peas in a pod and are meant to be together,” Kim said in an interview with The New Day.
“I know people will say we’re disgusting, that we should be able to control our feelings, but when you’re hit by a love so consuming you are willing to give up everything for it, you have to fight for it.
“It’s a once in a lifetime chance and something Ben and I are not willing to walk away from.”

The couple were brought together after Ben, who was living in the US, sent his England-born mum a letter out of the blue in 2013.
West says she first kissed Ben over a bottle of champagne in a hotel room after having “sexy dreams” about him and describes their current sex life with her son as “incredible and mind blowing”.
The GSA condition the couple referred to is Genetic Sexual Attraction – a term used for relatives who feel sexual attraction for each other after meeting as adults.
Surprisingly GSA is said to affect an estimated 50 per cent of lost family member reunions.
The couple say talking to other GSA couples has helped them be more open about their relationship.
“I know people will say we’re disgusting, that we should be able to control our feelings, but when you’re hit by a love so consuming you are willing to give up everything for it, you have to fight for it.
As in Australia, incest is considered illegal in Ben and Kim’s home in the US, but despite the taboo the happy couple are reportedly planning to figure out how to get married and have a baby together.
Of their life planned together West says: “It’s a once in a lifetime chance and something Ben and I are not willing to walk away from.”
