You would have assumed that the father and daughter would have been charged with some offence, but apparently they're just being monitored.  Strange.


A South Australian woman has given birth to her father's daughter after the couple had sex.

John and Jenny Deaves reunited 30 years after Mr Deaves separated from Jenny's mother.

Jenny was 31 and just two weeks after meeting, father and daughter had sex.

"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults," Mrs Deaves told the Nine Network's 60 Minutes tonight.

"We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

Their nine-month-old daughter Celeste, shown on TV, appears fit and healthy.

Mrs Deaves said soon after reuniting with her father she began to see him as a man first and her father second.

"I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he's not too bad.

"Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub."

Mrs Deaves brought two children, Samantha and Alex, into the relationship after splitting from her former partner.

Mr Deaves admitted that he "initially" thought having sex with his daughter was wrong.

"Emotions take over, as people no doubt realise, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head," he said.

"I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what."

Mrs Deaves said the physical relationship with her father was like "a sexual relationship with any other man".

For Mr Deaves the sexual relationship was "absolutely fantastic".

A South Australian police media spokesman tonight told AAP "the couple is being monitored".

very weird and the interveiwer almost normalised the union

That's how you get people to talk.

Indeed - how are they going to "monitor the situation"?
A webcam in the bedroom?

No, It'll never be acceptable. For moral and health reasons.
Anyone unsure that is it wrong for a mum to shag her son?

This couple aren't the full quid, that much is obvious.  Their little girl didn't look quite normal either.  They are so sure they are right and all the media attention surrounding them is just desensitising people to the seriousness of their crime.

I don't know if it was AN.  Aboriginal history tells us that they were very careful about inbreeding and would swap young girls from different tribes to ensure that there was genetic diversity amongst the clans.

It could be different now, but incest is apparently alive and thriving in all races and cultures.

Incest couple to leave home after attack
A father and daughter in an incestuous relationship plan to move from their rural South Australian home because of a vandal attack.

John Earnest Deaves, 61, and his oldest daughter Jennifer, 39, have admitted having two children together, with one dying shortly after birth.

In March this year, the couple were placed on three-year good behaviour bonds after pleading guilty in the Mt Gambier District Court in SA's south-east to two counts of incest related to the sex that led to the births of their two daughters.

Their first baby was born in 2001 but died a few days later due to a congenital heart disease. Their second daughter was born in May last year.

The pair went public last Sunday on the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program.

On Friday, Ms Deaves released a statement on the show's website describing the last week as "unbelievable, hectic and stressful".

"But we have no regrets about going public," Ms Deaves said.

"Public reaction has been varied.

"We have had support and, of course, we've had the expected negativity.

"We wanted to open some eyes and make people realise that genetic sexual attraction is out there and it's happening, and we feel we have achieved that."

Ms Deaves said they planned to leave their current home city.

"We do plan to move on from Mount Gambier, not because we are trying to hide from anyone or anything but because of the fact our car was vandalised," she said.

"People obviously know where we live and they could do this sort of thing again - hopefully not again, but you never know."

Ms Deaves said she wanted to clarify the death of their first child, Jackson, was from a congenital heart defect.

"Jackson's death has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that John and I are related," she said.

Ms Deaves said they were abiding by the court ruling, which stipulated they should not have further sexual intercourse.

She said they went public with their relationship "in order to bring awareness within society of genetic sexual attraction".

"We are currently planning a genetic sexual attraction foundation in order to promote research on GSA and to offer support to those that experience GSA," she said.

Police are investigating an alleged payment by the Nine Network to the Deaves.

That's right. There are no homosexuals in Iran. They made them illegal, so they don't exist. (Whisper: If they ever catch any, the secret police like to whip them, but it's our secret, right)

As far as adultery is concerned, they should kill them all for their own good (stoning is a cheap option), especially if they happen to be women.

Let's bring some good old fashioned Muslim morality into play.

Persecute people who do nothing more than follow their natural sexual urges. That would work.

Abu, incest creates victims. In our society we always put the chidlren first.
