New Mexico Mom And Son Risk Jail Time For Sexual Relationship

A New Mexico mother and son are going viral after going public with their sexual relationship. Read the jaw-dropping story here.

A New Mexico mother and son are declaring their love publicly saying that they'll risk everything to be together, including jail time.

Monica Mares, 36, and her son Caleb Peterson, 19, have been involved in a sexual relationship and are now going to trial in Clovis, New Mexico. The two face up to 18 months in prison if found guilty of incest.

The couple are now fighting for their right to be in a relationship and are asking the public to donate to their legal fees.

In an interview with the Daily Mail Online, Mares and Peterson discussed their relationship. Mares told the website,

"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. 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."

Monica Mares is a mother of 9, including Caleb Peterson. Mares gave up Peterson for adoption after he was born and hasn't seen him in 18 years. The two found each other on Facebook and met for the first time last Christmas. Mares drove to Texas to pick her son up from his adoptive father's house and brought him back to Clovis.

Here's what Mares had to say about how their relationship began,

'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". 'And he said: "You know what I am too. I was scared to let you know". He was falling in love with his mom and I was falling in love with my son. '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".'
