Father and daughter have child together

A south Australian father and daughter have revealed they are a couple, and have had a child together.

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

Their nine-month-old daughter Celeste appears fit and healthy.


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". A South Australian police media spokesman said "the couple is being monitored".
