Not really. Kids and stuff are completely okay to feature in your story, as long as they are not part of a sexual scene. Many stories on Lit have kids in them.

The issue is that probably 99% of real-life incest involves one or both people being underage. But, incest itself is independent of age, so that's where the potential hypocrisy lies.
You can argue that its sick, or that once a person's body develops they're ready for sex, etc. But because incest is defined as family and has no age constraints, its allowed. Right or wrong.

I would think it would depend on how you referenced it. If she's an adult now and you reference the abuse as a factor in her past, you would probably meet site guidelines. If you give a description of that abuse, even in flashbacks, you would probably not meet guidelines. If you think it's close, you can always post it with a note in the comments field and let the site admins decide.

It also depends on jurisdiction. In Canada, there's generally nothing illegal about having sex with a 16 year old, but if you go home and write about it in your diary, and you later get raided by the RCMP, you may find yourself in prison as a child pornographer, even though it was text, and even though you never intended to publish it.
US laws don't apply everywhere.

It applies to anything on this Web site--unless the Web host has been moved out of the U.S. recently.

True, but not to the users, and every user downloads the content of the page onto their own system... and I can see how some users of this site might be uncomfortable with being surveilled as a possible importer of kiddie porn just because they frequented literotica.com.
Which is not to say that I don't appreciate the fjortis genre - I do - but I can also appreciate that the admins might not want to host materials which may cause problems both for them and for a significant percentage of the site's users.

Where the users live and download is irrelevant in legal terms to this Web site. This Web site, understandably, is looking out for its own rear end where it operates.

Matter of attitude, I suppose. Some sites care about what could happen to their readers, others don't. A (non-erotic) literature site I've visited, which is in Australia, where copyrights don't last as long as in a lot of countries, will let people download things like F. Scott Fitzgerald stories, which are public domain in AU but not in most other English-speaking countries. But before you can download them, you're sent to a page which warns you in huge red letters that if you're not in the AU you'd be violating the law to proceed.
It doesn't protect them, they can't get in trouble regardless. But it does protect their users from inadvertently becoming criminals.
But many other sites do no such thing.
Matter of attitude.
