(Kenosha County Sheriff)
KENOSHA, Wis. – A 19-year-old Kenosha man is being held in jail on $100,000 cash bail after being charged with two counts of incest involving a close underage relative.
Justian C. Smith Jr. appeared in Kenosha County intake court Monday following his arrest on a felony warrant issued June 6. Court Commissioner William Michel II set bail at the same amount as the warrant. If convicted, Smith faces up to 80 years in prison—40 years for each Class C felony.
According to a criminal complaint filed by the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office, the allegations stem from incidents that occurred between April and November of 2024 while both Smith and the teenage girl were living at their father’s home on Washington Road.
The alleged victim, who was 15 at the time, disclosed the abuse during a forensic interview conducted at Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee this spring. She reported multiple serious sexual assaults with Smith, which she said began shortly after she moved into the home.
The complaint indicates that the girl had not lived with her father or his family before April 2024. According to their father, this was her first extended stay with them, and she moved out again in November.
Detectives from the Kenosha Police Department conducted follow-up interviews with both the victim and Smith. According to the complaint, Smith admitted to certain incidents involving inappropriate behavior and confirmed that there had been a sexual relationship. While he attempted to shift blame, he ultimately acknowledged multiple encounters that matched parts of the victim’s account.
The exact nature of the relationship between Smith and the victim is being withheld to protect her privacy, but the complaint states they are closely related by blood and that the alleged conduct qualifies under Wisconsin’s incest statute, which prohibits sexual contact between close family members.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 24.
Each count of incest is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 40 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Smith remains in custody at the Kenosha County Jail pending further proceedings.

Yea. He’s got the look
He has the look of a real punk that people are NOT going to like in prison!!
These cases are incredibly heartbreaking. Sad if is the kid is telling the truth, sad if it’s a false story made up by the real monsters coaching the child.
And the guy with the alleged drug house and threatening the life of police officers get a $5K bail amount?
give it to me baby
This is horrific.
It’s dey culture. Disgusting feral animals.
Yet not nearly as disgusting as your comment. Racist much?

Calling people racist means nothing anymore. I’m a realist. Facts don’t lie. They are feral animals.
So my comment was worse than this animal raping a family member? Got it. You’re into incest rape. Makes sense
“It’s dey culture. Disgusting feral animals.” Your comment refers to an entire race, not just this individual case. Nice try backtracking your racism, though. As for the suspect in this case (assuming he’s guilty), I hope they lock him up, throw away the key and karma will be a major bitch.
He’s not an animal & nor is that how the story went at all.
Let’s not forget he is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.
