INCEST

SEXUAL SINS OR NOT?

INCEST

  

Sex has always played a big role in creation. Animals act on instinct and thus procreate. Humans are different. Sex has the purpose of procreation but also of bonding and enjoyment.

When talking about sex, things like marriage, fornication, adultery, “consenting adults”, “friends with benefits”, “casual sex”, “swinging”, homosexuality, bi-sexuality”, prostitution, zoophilia, rape, incest, GSA (Genetic Sexual Attraction), “avunculate marriage”, sexbots, etc. come up.

This is not a scientific study on sex and sexual relationships. We’ll look at general trends, behaviour of people in this field, and gather info from various sources to get a general picture of what is going on in the world of sexual relationships.

Sex according to the Bible:

Here I’ll refer to Kerby Anderson summary:

God created men and women in His image (Gen. 1:27) as sexual beings. But because of sin in the world (Rom. 3:23), sex has been misused and abused (Rom. 1:24-25).

A biblical perspective of human sexuality must recognize that sexual intercourse is exclusively reserved for marriage for the following purposes. First, it establishes the one-flesh union (Gen. 2:24-25; Matt. 19:4-6). Second, it provides for sexual intimacy within the marriage bond. The use of the word “know” indicates a profound meaning of sexual intercourse (Gen. 4:1). Third, sexual intercourse is for the mutual pleasure of husband and wife (Prov. 5:18-19). Fourth, sexual intercourse is for procreation (Gen. 1:28).

Sex is very powerful and can be compared to nuclear energy. Within certain specifications of containment it is very useful, without the bounds of containment it is very dangerous en even very destruct full and can cause disasters and lead to death

In the upcoming “pages” we will look closer at the various types of sexual relations for example fornication, adultery, prostitution, rape, homosexuality, pornography, sexbots, necrophilia, etc.

These pages are mainly put together from other sources, written by various people, on these matters. Credit is given and sources are quoted.

GENERAL

WHY ALL THIS INFORMATION IN THE BLOG? TO SHOW HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM ARE. THE MAJORITY TEND TO IGNORE IT. BUT WE MUST FACE IT AND STAND AGAINST IT.

Incest has taken place through the ages. Some start of as pure experimentation between young children, other were sanction by royalty and rulers of countries.

 When you discuss incest, there are word and concepts that come-up like incestuous rape, consenting incest, consenting adult incest, accidental incest, GSA (genetic sexual attraction), etc.

With children born out of wedlock, fornication, divorce, multi-partner relationships, poor administration/communication, separation, etc. the changes of incest are greater.

But pure lust en sex drive and the rejection of moral standards are the main cause of incest.

Studies show that almost 80% of Japanese men report they have had some form of sexual contact with their mothers with most of the sexual contact between mother and son beginning at a very early age.

In many countries consenting adult incest are not prosecuted.

“The classification regarding incest, which is included en who is excluded are different in various countries. For example in the USA cousins (first cousins) are included in the definition of forbidden relationships. In countries like England, South Africa and other they are excluded.

The vast majority of adults in the United States feel consensual adult incest should be the right of adult choice. Consenting adults do not want the government in their bedrooms and do not think there is a problem with having sex between close family relations. Can sex between close relatives ever be legally and socially acceptable? As a matter of history, incest was and still is an acceptable practice.” http://www.lotscave.com/vignettes/controversy/morality/Consensual_incest.html

Women and children often time are beaten or killed if they would dare complain, in honour killings.

According to Turkish government reports of the documented abuse cases; 18% of minors have been documented as victims of sexual abuse in Turkey. Social Services and Child Protection Agency (SHÇEK). Consensual incest is widely accepted to be a very high figure.

INCEST IN HISTORY

King Tut’s father, Akhenaten, and his mother were brother and sister, and he himself married his half-sister, Ankhesenamun. He suffered from necrosis of the bone in his left foot causing him to have to use a cane to walk. It is speculated that he also suffered from a crippling bone disease. According to National Geographic, his immune system could have been severely compromised because of multiple malarial infections which interfered with the healing of his foot. These maladies, along with a fracture found in his left thighbone, could have been the reason for his death

One of the famous relationships of Egyptians was the marriage of Cleopatra VII and her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII. Their parents, Cleopatra V and Ptolemy XII, were also brother and sister. Sibling marriage had been an old tradition among all the rulers of Ptolemaic dynasty starting from Ptolemy IV and was done in order to keep the Ptolemaic blood “pure” and “to strengthen the line of succession.” The ancient Egyptians believed that royal women carried bloodlines and so the ruler marrying a sister of half-sister was thought to be advantageous. Apart from the royalty, there are also accounts of several of the Egyptian pharaohs marrying their siblings and having children with them.

 INCEST IS RIFE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Recent reports indicate that one in two South African children have experienced some form of sexual abuse before the age of 18. This article looks at incest in South Africa.

http://www.health24.com/Mental-Health/Incest-SA-kids-at-risk-20120721

The age at which consent can be given to sexual relations, and or marriage also varies from country to country, from 13 years of age to 21 years of age.

 

INCEST LAWS IN COUNTRIES

 

As said the definitions and the laws vary from country to country. In some countries there are even laws that forbid marriage between certain people, but not consider it as incest when they have a sexual relationship

Here are some info regarding the countries and their laws:

Australia, Germany and Britain have all had recent news stories about daughters marrying their fathers, brothers marrying their sisters and mothers having sex with sons. It was news in those countries because it is against the law there, and they were being prosecuted.

 

EUROPE - Surprising as it may seem, incest is not always a crime in Europe.  Three European Union nations — France, Spain and Portugal — do not prosecute consenting adults for incest, and Romania is considering following suit http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/03/21/romania-eyes-legalizing-consensual-incest-wouldnt-be-first-country-in-europe.html

 

UNITED STATES (all 50states) and the District of Columbia have made incest, even when consensual, illegal.  Yet, in Europe, incest is not always a crime. 

 As a recent article by the Associated Press noted France, Spain, and Portugal do not prosecute for crimes of incest for consenting adults, and that Romania is considering decriminalizing consensual incest. Romania is currently reforming its entire criminal code, and in doing so is considering decriminalizing incest between consenting adults.  As it now exists, Romania considers ALL FORMS of incest punishable for up to 7 years in prison.  The change is being contemplated by Romania’s Justice Ministry to become more legally similar to some other European Union members.  http://sexcrimes.typepad.com/sex_crimes/incest/

USA Twenty-four states prohibit marriages between first cousins, and another seven permit them only under special circumstances. Utah, for example, permits first cousins to marry only provided both spouses are over age 65, or at least 55 with evidence of sterility. North Carolina permits first cousins to marry unless they are "double first cousins" (cousins through more than one line). Maine permits first cousins to marry only upon presentation of a certificate of genetic counseling. The remaining nineteen states and the District of Columbia permit first-cousin marriages without restriction.

Legal in: Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia

Illegal in: Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming

Legal under Certain Circumstances: Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Utah, and Wisconsin.

The state’s highest court has toppled a cultural taboo — legalizing a degree of incest, at least between an uncle and niece — in a unanimous ruling.

While the laws against “parent-child and brother-sister marriages,. . . are grounded in the almost universal horror with which such marriages are viewed . . . there is no comparably strong objection to uncle-niece marriages,” Tuesday’s ruling reads.

Judge Robert Smith of the Court of Appeals wrote that such unions were lawful in New York until 1893 and Rhode Island allows them.

IN ENGLAND AND WALES the Sexual Offences Act 2003 created an offence of familial sexual abuse (this is covered in Scotland in the 2009 Sexual Offences Act, and in Northern Ireland in the Sexual Offences Order 2008). The aim of this law was to protect children up to the age of 18 from any form of activity that a person would consider sexual or indecent. The offender may be an adult or another child. It recognises the modern family unit and it defines familial sexual abuse as being between a person and their parent (including adoptive or foster), grandparent, child, grandchild, sibling or half-sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece.  The Sexual Offences Act 2003 also prohibits adult sexual relationships but within a slightly narrower definition that includes just close blood relationships only - parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece.

 In Brazil and France, incest is allowed. It is not against the law in both countries. In Japan, while incest is frowned upon morally, it is not illegal. In Poland, if a person is charged with incest, their term would range from three months to five years.

Consensual incest between brother and sister is frowned on, but not prohibited in France. It has been legal there since the time of Napoleon, but still you can't marry your sister. It is similar in Japan, legal between consenting adults but not legal for incestuous marriages. Sweden is the only country in Europe which allows marriage between siblings who share one parent. They have recently been silently dropping anti-incest laws in other countries too. It is still technically illegal in lots of countries, but police in most countries will now turn a blind eye to it unless someone makes a complaint. Most police will leave happy couples alone these days.

Retrieved from "http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/Is_incest_legal_in_any_country "SWITZERLAND - Marriage between second-degree relatives (aunt/uncle, niece/nephew) is already legal in Switzerland.

In most places, incest is illegal, regardless of the ages of the two partners. In other countries, incestuous relationships between consenting adults (with the age varying by location) are permitted, the only type of incestuous relationship allowed by law is that between half-siblings and they must seek government counselling before marriage_

Incest is legal in many countries: Brazil, Russia, France, India, Sweden, Belgium, Japan, etc. Most countries do not support sibling marriages legally as there is a high chance of birth defects. Sweden is the only country in Europe which allows marriage between siblings who share one parent. See more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_incest

FIRST COUSIN INCEST

 A child of a parent's sibling; a nephew or niece of a parent; a child of one's uncle or aunt.

 Marriages and sexual relationships between first cousins are stigmatized as incest in some cultures, but tolerated in much of the world. Currently, 24 US states prohibit marriages between first cousins, and another seven permit them only under special circumstances. The United Kingdom permits both marriage and sexual relations between first cousins.

 USA Twenty-four states prohibit marriages between first cousins, and another seven permit them only under special circumstances. Utah, for example, permits first cousins to marry only provided both spouses are over age 65, or at least 55 with evidence of sterility. North Carolina permits first cousins to marry unless they are "double first cousins" (cousins through more than one line).

Not deemed as incest in the UK, South Africa and other countries

Not deemed incest according to the Bible. 

 

 

SIBLING INCEST

One of the deepest held secrets in families is that of sibling incest. It is not as uncommon as you might think. Research shows that 60% of outpatient psychiatric patients report having engaged in sibling incest when they were children. This is another area of child maltreatment that is often kept silent.

 A government ethics committee in Germany says the ban is unacceptable as it doesn’t allow the right to sexual self-determination. The comments are in regard to a well-publicized relationship between a brother and sister. Patrick Stubing lived with his partner, Susan Karolewski, who turned out to be his sister and the couple had four children together, two of whom were disabled. They did not know each other when they were growing up, as they were raised separately. They only met when Stubing was 24 and Karolewski was  

GENETIC SEXUAL ATTRACTION (GSA)

Genetic sexual attraction (GSA) is a contrived term for an overwhelming sexual attraction that may develop between close blood relatives who first meet as adults. This is on the rise in the world.

 

AVUNCULATE MARRIAGE

Avunculate marriage is marriage between an uncle and a niece or between an aunt and a nephew (second-degree relative). In some societies avunculate marriage is prohibited as a form of incest, while in others it is legal, even common.

The partners of an avunculate marriage have the same genetic relationship as half-siblings or a grandparent and grandchild, sharing on average 25% of their genetic material. This is more than that of a first cousin relationship, in which on average the members share 12.5% of their genetic material, but less than that of cousin-siblings (37.5%) or full siblings (50%).

Avunculate marriages were once frequent among the royal houses of Europe, as Leviticus 18 was not interpreted to explicitly forbid the marriage of a man with the daughter of his sibling; in Catholic countries a papal dispensation could be and often was obtained to allow such a marriage. According to the Talmud, avunculate marriage (specifically an uncle marrying his niece) is commended by Jewish law, however, Sadducees and other Jewish sects believed that such unions are Biblically prohibited. Avunculate marriage is banned in Islam, thus it is illegal in most Muslim countries. Avunculate marriage is currently illegal in most Anglophone jurisdictions, but is allowed in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Finland, Malaysia,  the Netherlands, and Russia. Avunculate marriage is the preferred type of union among the Awá-Guajá people of the eastern Amazon basin.

 

INCESTUOUS RAPE

Incestuous rape (brother-sister, father-daughter, mother-son, brother-brother, sister-sister) are largely under reported, but occur a lot in families.

 

 

 

CONSENSUAL ADULT INCEST

 

Consensual incest might be frowned upon in some countries but are rarely prosecuted unless it causes a public scandal. In some countries it’s illegal and a felony.

 ACTIVISTS IN LEGALISING INCEST

There are various groups advocating the removal of incest laws.

 DR. ENDRIK WILHELM is a solicitor for criminal law based in Dresden, Germany. He became an advocate for consensual incest after he took on a prominent case dealing with sibling love in Germany in 2008. He also counsels.

http://www.dw.com/en/lawyer-legalize-incest/a-18637834

 JUDGE GARRY NEILSON, from the district court in the state of New South Wales, likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural" but is now widely accepted.

He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the availability of contraception and abortion.

"A jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now 'available', not having [a] sexual partner," the judge said.  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/10958728/Australian-judge-says-incest-may-no-longer-be-a-taboo.html

 OCTOBER 2014 AN ARTICLE, “A government-backed committee in Germany has recommended that the government abolish laws criminalizing incest between siblings, arguing that such bans impinge upon citizens’ rights to sexual self-determination. According to findings from the German Ethics Council, that right is a ‘fundamental’ one, and carries more weight than society’s ‘abstract protection of the family.'”

 A YOUNG WOMAN - “If I can consent to have sex with an entire football team, why can't I consent to have sex with my brother who is over the age of 30?" she adds, her voice rising.

 YOUTH VOTERS SAY LEGALIZE INCEST AND NECROPHILIA IN SWEDEN

Zachary Volkert February 23, 2016

Some young liberal voters in Sweden, however, welcome the linking of incest and necrophilia to other controversial consensual sexual acts. Certain members of the Swedish Liberal Party are pushing for legislation that would remove penalties for engaging in the frowned-upon activities, reported Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet.

Cecilia Johnsson, Liberal Youth chairperson, told the publication that she and those who agreed with her felt that necrophilia and incest could not be banned solely on the basis of them being distasteful to certain people. They did, however, note that the newly sanctioned types of copulation would follow other consent laws in Sweden. A corpse that would have intercourse would only be fair game if the person had given written consent before passing on.

Noting that it was the next logical step in sexual liberation, Cecilia stated that it wasn’t sensible to continue with a ban on incest and necrophilia just because people found it unappealing, according to quotes translated by The Daily Mail.

“I understand that it [necrophilia and incest] can be seen as unusual and disgusting, [but] legislation cannot be based on it being disgusting… We are a youth wing and one of our tasks is to think one step further… We don’t like morality laws in general, and this legislation is not protecting anyone right now.”

The Swedish Youth party is not without their arguments. Autonomy of one’s own body, they stress, also extends to things that people might find repulsive. They don’t believe that incest or necrophilia should necessarily be illegal just because they have complicated histories and low level of interest.

“It should be your own decision what happens with your body after you die, and if that happens to be that you want to bequeath your remains to a museum or to science, or if you want to bequeath your remains to someone to sleep with them, then that should be O.K.”

IN THE NEWS 

WHY ALL THIS INFORMATION IN THE BLOG? TO SHOW HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM ARE. THE MAJORITY TEND TO IGNORE IT. BUT WE MUST FACE IT AND STAND AGAINST IT.

Stories appearing in the media are but the tip of the iceberg of incest that is going on in the world. These show how sinful and corrupt men/women became. As mentioned there are groups that want incest to be sanctioned.  

 

 

MAMAS & THE PAPAS - Legendary American folk-rock group The Mamas & the Papas were icons of the 1960s. Their chart-topping hits “California Dreamin’” and “Monday Monday” still play on the radio to this day.

John Phillips was the leader of the group and composed a majority of their vocal arrangements. He was idolized by many and maintained a charming public image throughout his career.

However, in 2009, nearly a decade after Phillips had passed away, his daughter, Mackenzie, went public with tales of the incestuous relationship between her and her father that began when she was just 19 years old.

NOEL WALSH JUDY VAN NIEKERK

Co Monaghan man who sexually abused and beat his daughter for nearly 20 years was jailed for 15 years yesterday. Mr Justice Carney said it was one of the worst cases of its kind to be heard at the Central Criminal Court.

Noel Walsh (55) started abusing his daughter, Judith, now 34, when she was 11 in early 1977 and continued raping and beating her until she finally left home. Ms Walsh wanted her father named publicly because she felt a responsibility to the public to provide more exposure to this type of offence. Mr Justice Carney lifted his anonymity.

The abuse included rape, sexual assault and beatings. She was threatened regularly with knives and guns, including shotguns. Her father had got custody of her by court order in 1979 and she hardly went to school at all due to him moving to several addresses in the following years.

Ms Walsh said she was raped, sexually abused and physically beaten between 1977 and 1982. She fled to England in 1982, but he persuaded her to come back. The feeling of guilt he had instilled in her made her come back. She moved with him from Castle blayney to flats in Dundalk, Drogheda, Wicklow and finally Dublin.

"He was going to kill me eventually one way or another, so I fled back to England again in 1989 and then to South Africa," she said. "I had no right to life. I existed only to make his life easier." He took out any anger and frustration he felt on her. She was isolated from her family and not allowed to contact her siblings or to make friends.

She said she got away to London in 1989 but did not feel safe there. In South Africa she felt there was enough distance to feel secure.

Around 1995 she began to realise she was not to blame. She tracked down her family in 1996 and contacted gardai. She started therapy in 1996 and was seeing a psychologist in South Africa

This is not the first time Patricia Spann has married one of her children. Court records show an annulment between Patricia and her son in 2010. The two married in 2008.

MACKAY

Crown prosecutor Nigel Rees told the District Court in Mackay that the now 50-year-old man had had sex with his daughter when she was between the ages of 14 and 18.

Mr Rees told the court that on February 23 last year the man, after a fight with his daughter, had written on his Facebook page that he had been in a sexual relationship with the teenage girl for five years.

"He said he knew it was wrong, he was sorry, and he wanted to end his life," Mr Rees said. He said the man would use sex as a mechanism to control his daughter.

"(She) said she was petrified of him, she said he was a controlling, overbearing man, with whom she felt powerless to refuse his advances," Mr Rees said. "She said she never said anything because she thought she would be in trouble."

When the girl turned 16, she and her father had sex "a number of times per week" the court was told.

Mr Rees said that six weeks before the police interviewed the girl she had gone to live at her mother's house. The victim read out an impact statement at her father's sentencing.

The now 19-year-old said she had suffered from mental illness, nightmares, depression and stress as a result of her abuse.

A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER have been ordered to serve three years and eight months imprisonment on separate counts of incest based on section 95 (2) of the Penal Code Act CAP 135.

The father said in his pre-sentence report that he groomed to have sex with his daughter since 2006 and shifted a part of the blame to his wife claiming she was sick and was unable to accept his sexual desires.

The daughter said that she was having consensual sex with her father because they were living together and their close relationship made easier to give in for sexual intercourse.

AUSTRALIAN MAN

An Australian man has been arrested for allegedly fathering four children with a daughter he repeatedly raped for more than 30 years, local media reported Thursday.

The man, in his 60s, began the abuse in the 1970s when the daughter was 11 and continued almost daily until 2007, said the Herald Sun newspaper, which first reported the case.

The assaults resulted in four children, all with birth defects, the paper said. One later died.

Authorities in the southeastern state of Victoria would not confirm details of the case to CNN, citing an overarching court gag order that bars the release of any information that may identify the man.

A clerk with the Melbourne County Court would say only that the man was arrested on charges of rape and incest. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/09/17/australia.incest/

 SOUTH AFRICA

A 32-year-old woman, who allegedly committed incest and concealed the birth of up to nine children conceived with her brother, underwent a series of medical tests at Delmas Hospital on Thursday.

Police and the Secunda child protection unit, acting on a tip-off, arrested the woman and her 40-year-old brother in Bapsfontein after it was alleged she had been pregnant about 10 times.

The couple, however, only have two boys aged 14 and seven years. The two boys have been put in a children's home in Kriel.

Investigating officer Inspector Yolande Geldenhuys said the woman would be examined by doctors to determine if she was eight months pregnant, as she had alleged. Blood samples were also taken for DNA testing.

The rest of the family would undergo certain tests as these would form the basis of incest charges.

KUCHING, Aug 11 — The police have detained four farmers to facilitate investigations into a report by a 19-year-old girl who alleged she was raped by her grandfather, father and two uncles since she was 13.

DAVID EPSTEIN

Columbia University professor David Epstein was charged last week with incest, accused of carrying on a three-year affair with his adult daughter. According to the Columbia Spectator, the affair was consensual, but the political science teacher has been arraigned on one count of third-degree incest and could face up to four years in jail.

Epstein's lawyer, Matthew Galluzzo, said that charges against his client were still "only allegations" that have not been proven. "Academically, we are obviously all morally opposed to incest and rightfully so," he told ABCNews.com. "At the same time, there is an argument to be made in the Swiss case to let go what goes on privately in bedrooms." "It's OK for homosexuals to do whatever they want in their own home," he said. "How is this so different? We have to figure out why some behavior is tolerated and some is not."

 RINEHART AND DANIEL

Rinehart knew that her husband, Daniel, had been raping their daughter, Ashley, in their family camper home since the girl was five years old, but the mother never lifted a hand to stop the abuse. Ashley’s three sisters, meanwhile, were threatened with death if they ever discussed what was going on with anyone. However, in 2009, one of the daughters, Hayley, escaped from the home and called the Harrisonville, Missouri police. Hayley told officers that Ashley had given birth to four of her father’s children with three of them dying. Two of the three babies that had died were disposed of in coolers and left on a farm, but the one Ashley had delivered when she was sixteen had surived and was a four-year-old then.

During the trial, Daniel insisted that his relationship with Ashley was consensual, that she showed her interest in having sex with him by rubbing his shoulders on two occasions. In 2010, a jury disregarded Daniel’s claims by finding him guilty, the judge sentencing the man to life in prison plus 22 years for incest, statutory rape, felony murder, and abandonment of a corpse.

 SLABAUGH

Born to a traditional Amish family in 1987, Anna Slabaugh often got into trouble for what was considered unacceptable Amish behavior like being naughty in church and wearing her cap improperly. It was for this reason that Anna partly blamed herself when her then 19-year-old brother began molesting her when she turned 11. After that brother moved away, her 17-year-old brother then took his turn. Later, when Anna got her period at 13, she tried to fight back for fear that she would get pregnant. Her resistance didn’t prove effective, however, as the abuse continued. Anna then tried to seek help from her church, a woman’s shelter, a social worker, and her neighbors — all to no avail. In fact, when the Swartzentruber Amish community learned that Anna had tried to report what was happening to her, she was considered an outcast. Furthermore, Anna’s mother brought her to a dentist and had all of Anna’s teeth pulled out so that she wouldn’t “be talking anymore.” http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/10-times-family-members-got-too-close/

JOSEPH FRITZL

In April of 2008, a 42-year-old Elizabeth Fritzl told the police in Amstetten, Austria that she had been held captive for 24 years by her father, Joseph Fritzl. She further reported that in a hidden corridor of their basement, her father physically and sexually abused her countless times, resulting in the birth of seven children, one dying three days after birth. Four of the live children were raised by Elizabeth in captivity, while Josef and wife Rosemarie claimed that the three others were foundlings. It was when eldest daughter Kerstin fell unconscious and had to be brought to hospital that police finally discovered the crime and charged Josef with rape, manslaughter by negligence, false imprisonment, and incest. During the trial, it was also revealed that strangely, wife Rosemarie had no idea all those years about what her husband, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, was doing http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/10-times-family-members-got-too-close/

(LINDA HODGE) BRUCE AND LINDA MCMAHAN

In 1987, Linda Hodge, an adopted daughter of a couple in California, turned eighteen and decided to search for her birth parents. A firm that specialized in such matters was actually able to find Linda’s biological father, who turned out to be billionaire Bruce McMahan. The man then arranged to meet his daughter in 1990. The two got along and lived together; then, their relationship took a bizarre turn. Then 63-year-old McMahan, who was married to his fourth wife, told the then 29-year-old Linda that they had been married in a previous life. Linda seemed to believe the claim, and they proceeded to begin life as a couple. However, the relationship later turned ugly with Linda vowing to “preemptively destroy” her biological father and Bruce filing a lawsuit against Linda for stealing his firm’s trade secrets. The cases have since been settled. http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/10-times-family-members-got-too-close/

“In June, 2004 Bruce McMahan eloped to England with his 35-year-old daughter. There was no wedding attire or officiant, but the couple exchanged rings at Westminster Abbey and posed for photos .Adopted at birth, Linda met Bruce for the first time in 1990, subsequently changed her last name to McMahan and began a sexual relationship with him in 1998.

From there, Linda and Bruce decided to make their union official, despite the lack of papers, legality or a divorce from their prospective spouses. But after only a year, which was spent trying to hide their incestuous relationship, Bruce and Linda McMahan fell out after Linda refused to lie for Bruce’s divorce proceedings. Months of legal wrangling followed, with each party suing the other for everything from theft and extortion to defamation.”

 

 

BARBARA BAEKELAND

Born in 1922, Barbara Baekeland grew up to become a wealthy and beautiful socialite who was often featured in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. However, like her mother, she suffered mental health problems and attempted suicide several times. Barabara’s mental instability was also evident in her complex and allegedly incestuous relationship with her gay son, Antony. According to accounts, Barbara was attempting to “cure” her son’s homosexuality by coercing Antony into having sex with her. Meanwhile, Antony was mentally unstable himself as he suffered from schizophrenia and went through several violent arguments with his mother. Those violent episodes culminated with Antony killing Barbara by stabbing her with a knife on November 17, 1972. Strangely, when police arrived, Antony was casually ordering Chinese food over the phone. Then, after Antony had spent close to eight years in prison, he proceeded to live with his grandmother, whom he likewise nearly stabbed to death. http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/most-shocking/10-times-family-members-got-too-close/

But it wasn't a maternal love, instead a sexual desire which had led them to want to start trying for a baby with the help of it would mean that Jeff, who like his mum lives in America, would become father to his own brother. The couple had got together after Jeff's adoptive mother died and he tracked down Julie who had given him up at 20. Julie says after meeting him she couldn't stop thinking about him, adding: "At that point I didn't know about GSA.

 JOHN AND JENNY DEAVES
“When this Australian couple were famously interviewed by 60 minutes in April 2008, the world took notice. John and Jenny Deaves didn’t have a typical father-daughter relationship after the divorce between John and his daughter’s mother, though Jenny did sporadically spend time with him growing up.

They reconnected in 2000 and both John and Jenny left their spouses to live together as a couple. They’ve had two children together, one dieing shortly after birth from a heart defect, and were arrested and charged with incest by an Australian court.

After pleading guilty the Deaves were released by the courts, provided they stop the sexual part of their relationship, which they claimed they curtailed for fear of a prison sentence. The couple has since separated.”

DARTMOUTH MAN awaiting sentencing on a charge of incest says he wants to be able to see his biological daughter, who gave birth to his son two years ago.

The 43-year-old man appeared in Dartmouth provincial court Wednesday for sentencing on two counts of breaching his release conditions on the incest charge by having contact with his daughter and failing to report a change in address.

KRISTILYN SMITH  & ALTON EVERETT SMITH

A Flagler County father and daughter have been charged with incest in a case already focused on as an investigation of child pornography and prostitution. Alton Everett Smith Jr., 46, and Kristilyn Smith, 25, are accused of having sex in August at their residence in Palm Coast, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. Smith and his daughter were charged Tuesday.

The incest arrest warrant is based on witness statements by a former roommate. Alton Smith was already in jail after he was arrested Monday on child-pornography charges. He had eluded investigators since Dec. 30, when deputies executing a search warrant at the Carlos Court home found child pornography on a computer.

He and his wife, Tina Marie Smith, 43, face 37 charges of child pornography. She has been jailed since Dec. 30. The roommate said he thought Alton and Kristilyn Smith were husband and wife because they stayed in one bedroom and Tina Smith, who he thought was Alton's sister, stayed in another bedroom with Kristilyn's 7-year-old son, according to the arrest report.

ROBIN PRICE

FOR almost 30 years, incest dad Robin Price thought he had got away with starting a family with his own sister. But one day, in early 2015 that all changed, as his past finally caught up with him in the most devastating manner, with a knock on the door from the police.

The pair then confronted his estranged mother, who confirmed their worst fears.

Faced with the choice of breaking off the relationship, Robin claimed he decided to stay in the relationship because his sister had just learned that she was pregnant, with Donna.

Pushing the truth to the back of his mind, he said the couple then went on to have three more children together.

MARES PETERSON

A 19-year-old man charged in New Mexico with having an incestuous relationship with his mother told authorities he believed he could take care of her and keep her safe from abusive men like those in her past, a criminal complaint states.

Caleb Peterson's statement to police came after he and his mother Monica Mares were charged in February with incest. "Caleb felt if he was there to take care of her, she would not have to deal with abusive men anymore and he would take care of the household and his younger brothers," the complaint said.

 On Tuesday, Peterson told Albuquerque television station KOB that he wants people to know about his relationship with his mother. He declined to be interviewed on camera.

The mother and son are scheduled to face separate jury trials on one count each of incest. Court records show Mares' trial set for Aug. 25 and Peterson's on the docket for Sept. 16.

 

The felony charges carry a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Citing the criminal complaint, the Clovis News-Journal previously reported (http://bit.ly/2aWB0UJ) that Mares gave up Peterson for adoption when he was an infant, and the mother and son reunited recently.

After the son moved into his mother's home, the relationship became romantic and sexual in nature, authorities said.

 Police learned of the relationship after responding to a dispute on the street where they lived, though it's not clear if it may have been a statement from a neighbor or an acquaintance that led police to determine the two were romantically involved.

 

The criminal complaint states that Peterson acknowledged the relationship at the time of the arrest, saying his mother had been in a series of abusive relationships with men.

Mares denied having an incestuous relationship at the time of her arrest. Her attorney in Clovis — a town of about 40,000 people near the New Mexico-Texas border — did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday

MISTIE ATKINSON

Earlier this month we reported on 32-year-old Mistie Atkinson, the woman who was caught having sex with her biological, teenage son. She was arrested and charged with incest, oral copulation of a minor, contact with a minor for a sexual offense and sending harmful matter to a minor after police found her in a hotel room with her son. 

Atkinson has not had contact with her 16-year-old son since she gave him up 14 years ago, but the pair reunited in a most devious way late last year after Atkinson contacted him via Face book.

Within two months the teen’s father, who has sole custody, filed a restraining order against Atkinson after the conversations between her and her son became as increasingly inappropriate as they were sinister.

 She started to have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with him, not a mother-and-son relationship,” the man said, according to court documents. “It got to a point where their conversation began talking about harming me and killing off her boyfriend she was (now) living with.”

Police say they have proof Atkinson sent her son nude photos of herself and engaged in explicit conversations that included the two running away together. …

“COLT” FAMILY

Two members of a family accused of mass incest dating back four generations have been DNA swabbed after a court ruled they had to provide evidence to detectives.

In one of the most shocking cases of child abuse in Australian history, Raylene and Betty Colt - legal names given to them by the court to protect their identity - were ordered by a magistrate to report to a Sydney police station on Friday and provide samples as detectives continued their efforts to lay charges.

 

An application to obtain DNA from a third family member - Rhonda - was withdrawn by police, pending further evidence from tests performed on five of her children. Three children will also be tested.

 

By 2012, the five family groups comprised sisters Rhonda, then 47; Martha, 33; and Betty Colt, 46, who slept every night with her brother, Charlie. There were also two of Betty's daughters who each had children who proved to be from unions of related parents.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2650454/EXCLUSIVE-Four-generations-depravity-Incest-family-lived-remote-Australian-bush-ordered-court-DNA-prove-sexual-abuse.html#ixzz4s1LbBKMV 

 

SOUTH AFRICA

South African police are investigating a case of an alleged incest relationship between father and his biological daughter that produced two children between the age of 15 and two months.

The stars reports- a Soweto man in his early sixties and his 32 year old daughter, are living in a four room house with their children.

The man reportedly also attempted to sexually violent his younger and older daughter but they rebuked him.

The Gauteng Social Development Department has taken the younger daughter to a place of safety because her father allegedly abuses her and accuses her of interfering in his alleged sexual relationship with his other daughter.

Close relative who spoke to the star news paper all confirmed that the man was indeed having a sexual relationship with his middle daughter, and they all agreed that the man had indeed fathered children with his daughter they also told the news paper that the man’s wife died sometime in November last year of a suspected heart failure because she could not deal with the evil acts of her own daughter and husband.

“I think my mother was too afraid to talk about the whole thing (the sexual abuse) because it caused her a lot of stress and depression.

 

‘‘Whenever I asked her about it, she would just cry and tell me to leave her alone as I would cause her to die of heart attack,” one of the daughters told the star.

When asked about these allegations the daughter in question initially died that she was having a relationship with her father but later confirmed it is true. ”It’s normal that when a father loves one of his children, people think I am in love with him… Who told you that? What’s the problem if he (her father) sleeps with me? I actually feel good, you know. Just like the way you feel when you sleep with your wife,” she said, before she hung up. 

The relationship reportedly began when the daughter was in her teen years the father used to lure her with bribes and money, and the man will bear her from leaving the house.

Relative say they became suspicious of the abuse in 200 when the daughter, was caught by one relative entering her father’s bedroom and locking herself inside while her mother was away. When she was asked about the incident she reportedly say that it was none of the relative’s business.

When her mother questioned her about the incident she gave an explanation that she was there to administer some medication to her father through his anal opening.

As the man’s obsession with his daughter grew relatives claim that he banished everyone including the wife from the house, and was left there with his middle daughter and their children only. IOL

CONFESSIONS

THE KISS – BOOK

Because she was afraid of losing her father's love, Kathryn says the relationship progressed. The first time they had sex was at his mother's house. "It was in the guest room, and she didn't like my family. I'd never seen her before, and she didn't like me very much," she says. "I knew that there wasn't any way that I could call out and anybody would help me." Kathryn is now estranged from her father and did not contact him when she published The Kiss. "It's not about outing him. It's really about trying to figure out what happened with me," she says. The Oprah Winfrey Show tried to reach Kathryn's father for comment, but phone calls went unanswered and he refused delivery of a letter.  http://www.oprah.com/relationships/incest-survivor-kathryn-harrisons-the-kiss/all#ixzz4rFk7f3oq

 

I'm a 20 year old male. For me incest is natural as I've been with my mother since I was 13 years old. The only side effect is that my mom and I have become very very close. Very positive experience for me. http://www.misterpoll.com/forums/38945/topics/60107

 

STEVE WILKOS SHOW: INCEST    

What could make that father/daughter incest story even grosser? Oh yeah, she’s pregnant with his kid. In what can only be described as being even grosser than the original, the daughter reveals that she’s pregnant with the father’s baby and is desperate to keep it despite his reservations.

Then we find out that father has been cheating on her the whole time despite saying all this crap about them being soul mates. Finally, the father attempts reconciliation with the tearful daughter backstage. What do you think happens? That’s right. Pretty gross but kind a like essential viewing.

INCEST AND THE BIBLE

There are a number of incest cases mentioned in the Bible, some before the Law regarding incest was recorded in Leviticus 18:6-18.

Let’s mention a number of such cases

 

HEROD ANTIPAS

·         Matthew 14:3-4 For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. For John had been saying to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."

·         Mark 6:17-18 For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her. For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

 JUDAH

·         Genesis 38:16-18 So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, "Here now, let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" He said, therefore, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, moreover, "Will you give a pledge until you send it?" He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" And she said, "Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
         Five People

Tamar his daughter-in-law bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.        Daughters In Law



 



 

REUBEN

• ·         Genesis 35:22  It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it
• ·         Genesis 49:4 "Uncontrolled as water, you shall not have preeminence, Because you went up to your father's bed; Then you defiled it--he went up to my couch.
• ickleness1 Chronicles 5:1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's bed, his birth right was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; so that he is not enrolled in the genealogy according to the birth right.

ABSALOM

·         2 Samuel 16:21-22 Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened." So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

 

 

LOT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS

·         Genesis 19:31-36 Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth. "Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father." So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

·         On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father." So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.



 

ABRAHAM 

·         Genesis 20:12-13 "Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife; and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is the kindness which you will show to me: everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother."

enceLawsuitsProfanityHarlotsTrampling People"WHY DID GOD ALLOW INCEST IN THE BIBLE?"

 

Answer: There are numerous examples of incest in the Bible. The most commonly thought-of examples are the sons/daughters of Adam and Eve (Genesis 4), Abraham marrying his half-sister Sarah (Genesis 20:12), Lot and his daughters (Genesis 19), Moses’ father Amram who married his aunt Jochebed (Exodus 6:20), and David’s son Amnon with his half-sister Tamar (2 Samuel 13). It is important to note, however, that in two of the above instances (Tamar and Lot), one of the parties involved was an unwilling participant in the incest—better described as rape in those cases.

 

It is important to distinguish between incestuous relationships prior to God commanding against them (Leviticus 18:6–18) and incest that occurred after God’s commands had been revealed. Until God commanded against it, it was not incest. It was just marrying a close relative. It is undeniable that God allowed “incest” in the early centuries of humanity. Since Adam and Eve were the only two human beings on earth, their sons and daughters had no choice but to marry and reproduce with their siblings and close relatives. The second generation had to marry their cousins, just as after the flood the grandchildren of Noah had to intermarry amongst their cousins. One reason that incest is so strongly discouraged in the world today is the understanding that reproduction between closely related individuals has a much higher risk of causing genetic abnormalities. In the early days of humanity, though, this was not a risk due to the fact that the human genetic code was relatively free of defects.

 

Another consideration is that incest today almost always involves a pre-pubescent or powerless victim, and the perpetrator is abusing his or her authority with the goal of unilateral sexual pleasure. By that standard, the “incest” of the Bible has nothing whatsoever in common with modern-day incest. There was no power difference between Cain and his wife, for example; the goal of Abraham and Sarah’s marriage was to create a family. Intermarriage among close family members was a necessity in the generations immediately following Adam and Noah and was not a sinful perversion of sex.

 

It seems that, by the time of Moses, the human genetic code had become polluted enough that close intermarriage was no longer safe. So, God commanded against sexual relations with siblings, half-siblings, parents, and aunts/uncles (Genesis 2:24 seems to indicate that marriage and sexual relations between parents and children were never allowed by God). It was not until many centuries later that humanity discovered the genetic reason that incest is unsafe and unwise. Genetics was not an issue in the early centuries of humanity, and the marriages that occurred between Adam and Eve’s children, Abraham and Sarah, and Amram and Jochebed were not selfish pursuits of sexual gratification or abuses of authority; accordingly, those relationships should not be viewed as incestuous. The key is that sexual relations between close relatives were viewed differently pre-Law and post-Law. It did not become “incest” until God commanded against it.   https://www.gotquestions.org/incest-in-the-Bible.html

CONCLUSION

 

Incest laws vary from country to country.

A country’s laws should be adhered to even if it differs from the Bible (Cousin Marriages in the USA, Bible allows it, USA prohibits it.)

The Bible should be adhered to even it a country allows it (Half-sister marriages are not allowed according to the Bible, although Sweden allows it.)

You should not get involved in incest.
 

 WHAT IF YOU WERE/ARE INVOLVED?

Solution – Break with it and seek counselling.

The real solution regarding any sinful sexual relationship is found in the Creator of mankind and in His word, the bible. A Heart changed in the inner-man, by the grace of God through His Holy Spirit sets you free from bondage.

Consider the following:

Sex is like nuclear energy. Within a contained enjoinment very useful, outside disastrous, harmful and dangerous.

 THE solution to this disillusioned lifestyle is the Christian gospel. A Gospel of forgiveness and restoration.
