On 1 August 2021, Chris was arrested for having sexual relations with her own mother and spent the next few months in jail […] On 27 March 2023, Chris was released from jail.
I’m certainly not in favor of parent-child incest, but nearly 20 months of jail for the child doesn’t seem like a fitting punishment. Either the mother consented and should be considered the more responsible party or she didn’t and the crime is rape.

The mother had dementia. It was unambiguously rape.

Oof. In that case, the Wikipedia should be rewritten, because he was jailed for raping his mother, not for having sex with her.
