| Man fathers child with daughter! | | | Sydney | Apr 8
An Australian man and his adult daughter recently went public about their incestuous relationship after having a baby together. It also emerged that their previous child had died a few days after birth.
John Deaves (61) and his daughter Jenny (39) have a nine-month-old daughter, but have been banned from having sex after a court convicted them on two counts of incest.
“The couple is being monitored by the authorities,” a South Australia state police spokesman said.
The case provoked international media attention when the couple appeared on Australia’s 60 Minutes programme to explain their relationship, which began when the two were re-united eight years ago.
John Deaves left the family home when his daughter was one-year-old and did not see her again for 30 years. When they were reunited, she had already married and had two children.
But within weeks, the couple had started a sexual relationship. “We’re normal intellectual adults who have had careers, had a normal life like everybody else, but fallen in love with each other when we are biologically related,” said Jenny.“We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding.”
John said he knew it was illegal to have sex with his child. “But emotions take over, as there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart,” he said.“Of course, I knew it was illegal, but so what.” |
