In another incident, a 23-year-old man was charged with the rape and sexual assault of his 32-year-old cousin sister, while a 25-year-old man was charged with the rape of his 15-year-old cousin sister.

A 36-year-old man was charged with the rape of his 18-year-old daughter, however, this matter was discontinued due to insufficient evidence.

A 54-year-old man was charged with the rape of his 47-year-old wife, however, this matter was discontinued after the victim could not be located or contacted.
