An appeals court has upheld an incest conviction for a man who says the state never proved he had sex with a sister he did not grow up with. Christian Bisbach was on extended supervision for a child sex assault when he was caught holding hands with a younger woman at a festival in Muscoda (mus’co day) in southwest Wisconsin in 2015. A jury in Grant County later convicted him of 12 felony counts of incest, after he admitted to officers that the woman was his biological sister but a different family adopted him before she was born. He also admitted starting a sexual relationship when she was 18 and he was 29 — but his defense claimed that the state’s only evidence was sexually suggestive phone calls to the woman when he was in jail, and no D-N-A tests or family testimony were sought. The Fourth District Appeals Court says none of that was necessary — and the phone calls, his claim of a relationship, and the hand holding were enough to convict him.
