   A mother and son from New Mexico are facing some serious jail   
   time since it was revealed that the two were having an   
   incestuous relationship.   
      
   Monica Mares, 36, and Caleb Peterson, 19, face up to 18 months   
   behind bars if the couple is found guilty of incest later this   
   year.   
      
   The two, who were estranged for almost two decades, are not   
   denying their incestuous relationship. But they want to be   
   allowed to be together and are even asking others to donate to   
   their legal fund.   
      
   The couple says they have gone public with their affair in a bid   
   to raise awareness of Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA)   
   relationship, which is defined as sexual attraction between   
   close relatives, such as siblings or half-siblings.   
      
   “He is the love of my life and I don't want to lose him. My kids   
   love him, my whole family does. Nothing can come between us. Not   
   courts, or jail, nothing,” Mares told the Daily Mail. “I have to   
   be with him. When I get out of prison, I will move out of Clovis   
   to a state that allows us to be together.”   
      
   Unfortunately for Mares, who is the mother of nine and said she   
   would give up rights to see them if it meant she could be with   
   Peterson, incest is a crime in all 50 U.S. states – although the   
   penalties vary greatly from state to state.   
      
   The couple – who live separately and are legally banned from   
   having contact – began their relationship about a year ago after   
   the two tracked each other down via Facebook. Peterson, whose   
   birth name is Carlos, was put up for adoption soon after the   
   then 16-year-old Mares gave birth to him.   
      
   Mares and Peterson say that after they met up they developed   
   feelings for each other and it wasn’t long until the   
   relationship turned sexual.   
      
   “It felt like I met somebody new in my life and I fell in love   
   with him,” Mares said. “At first I told him, "I'm sorry I don't   
   know how you are going to react to this. I'm your mom and you're   
   my son, but I'm falling in love with you."   
      
   She said he then told her the feelings were mutual.   
      
   “He was falling in love with his mom and I was falling in love   
   with my son,” she added. “We talked about it and we took off to   
   the park. I said, ‘Would you ever date your mom?’ And he said:   
   ‘Would you ever date your son?’ And I said, ‘Honest truth yes, I   
   would.’”   
      
   While the two were able to live in incestuous bliss for a while   
   – staying in Mares’ mobile home with her two youngest children,   
   an argument between the family and some neighbors eventually led   
   to their relationship becoming public knowledge.   
      
   “Honestly I never thought we would get into trouble for our   
   relationship. We were both consenting adults – when it comes   
   down to it,” Peterson said. “She's adult. I'm an adult. I can   
   make my own decisions. I never thought it would blow up into   
   something like this.”
