No. Wyoming law strictly prohibits incestuous relationships, including dating between siblings, under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-4-301. Violations constitute felony offenses, with penalties ranging from up to 14 years imprisonment for first-degree incest to 5 years for second-degree. The Wyoming Attorney General’s Office enforces these provisions, and local law enforcement agencies—such as the Laramie County Sheriff’s Department—actively investigate reported cases. Recent 2026 legislative proposals to clarify sentencing guidelines for familial sexual offenses underscore the state’s zero-tolerance stance.
Key Regulations for Dating Siblings in Wyoming
- Felony Classification: Dating between siblings is criminalized as incest under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-4-301, classified as a felony with tiered penalties based on the age of participants and coercion factors.
- Enforcement Priorities: The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) collaborates with county prosecutors to prioritize cases involving minors or evidence of coercion, as outlined in the 2025 DCI Annual Report.
- Juvenile Exceptions: No statutory exemptions exist for consensual relationships between adult siblings; however, juvenile cases may be adjudicated under family court protocols rather than criminal courts.
