Siblings Watched Porn Together, Leading to Crime
According to the victim's statement to the police, as reported in the media, the siblings had watched porn together in December 2023, and decided to ‘try’ what they saw. Both reportedly refrained from incest.
But in January 2024, as per the victim, her younger brother raped her. She informed her mother after she missed her periods, after which her parents took her to hospital.
