Aziza’s Fight to Close New Jersey’s Incest Loophole | Newark News

Published 3 weeks ago
Description

At just eight, Aziza Kibibi endured years of horrific abuse from her father — a former music video director now serving 90 years — but the law left her unprotected after she turned 18. Under New Jersey’s current statutes, incest between adults isn’t illegal, allowing offenders to escape justice. Despite being groomed and abused into adulthood, Kibibi faced disbelief from some courts for waiting to speak out. Now, fueled by trauma turned purpose, she founded Pretty Little Ladies and launched a petition to change that. Her proposed “Aziza’s Law” would make incest a crime regardless of age — a bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Eliana Pintor Marin, currently moving forward without Senate backing. With unwavering resolve, Kibibi uses her story to shield future victims, hoping this legislation will finally close the loophole and bring accountability where it’s long been missing.
