Tony L Lavoie, 43, lives with his mother Cheryl Lavoie, 64, in the US state of Massachusetts. Police were called to their home on May 20 after reports of a disturbance, local newspaper Sentinel and Enterprise reports.

When authorities arrived at the home they were met by the cousin of Tony’s wife, who claimed her relative had walked in on her husband having sex with his mum and phoned 911.

Both Cheryl and Tony told police that they had consensual sex but said it was the first time something like this had occurred between them.

According to the police report, Cheryl claimed the pair had gotten close over the last few months and had sex after kissing.

“I don’t know. It just happened,” Tony reportedly told police, asking if he could get treatment.

Police then charged the mother and son with incest, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail.

Both say it was the first time such an encounter occurred between them and it had “just happened”.

They both have pleaded not guilty to the charge, with a judge ordering the pair not to see each other.

Mother and son will reappear before the court on October 27.
