Shane Clemens, 22, from Florida, US, will not face criminal charges despite reportedly confessing to having sex with his own mother over several years, according to court documents. He told police he got "tired" of the incestuous flings.
Police Investigation and Confession
Police visited the Lakeland mobile home Shane shares with his mum, Christina Clemens, 46, and her husband Terry last month following reports of a row. During questioning, Shane claimed he "was tired of having sexual intercourse with his mother."
An arrest affidavit revealed he gave officers a graphic breakdown of their alleged relationship. In a recorded interview, Christina reportedly confessed that she "engaged in penile/vaginal penetration" with her son "on at least one hundred separate occasions." Cops noted the encounters took place in secret whenever the house was empty or while "everyone is asleep."
Charges Against the Son Dropped
Both were initially arrested, but prosecutors have decided to drop proceedings against the son, reports The Smoking Gun. Jail records list the disposition of Shane's case as "no billed," confirming state attorneys have formally decided against pursuing criminal charges. He was released from the Polk County jail on September 17.
Mother Remains in Custody
His mother remains behind bars on a $5,000 bond ahead of her court appearance on October 6. Prosecutors filed a felony information charging Christina with third-degree felony incest, alleging she "did unlawfully have sexual intercourse" with her son between September 2023 and August 2026. If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison, hefty fines, and potential placement on Florida's sex offender registry.
