An Australian couple have pleaded guilty to having sex with their nine-year-old son. The 48-year-old woman and her 57-year-old husband were charged in November 2009 with multiple offences relating to the repeated sexual assault of their son, who is now aged 10. Authorities were alerted to the family after the nine-year-old propositioned a girl at his school for sex.
Police arrested the couple at their home in Sydney's south on November 16, 2009, and they have not seen their son since being taken into custody. In Sydney's Central Local Court on Thursday, the father pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual intercourse with his son, two counts of committing an indecent act, using the nine-year-old for child pornographic purposes, indecently assaulting his son, possessing child pornography and using the internet to offend.
The mother pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse with her son and two counts of committing an act of indecency. On one occasion, the woman performed a sex act on him while the man filmed it. The footage was later posted online. The family are known nudists.
Both parents have been refused bail and an order is in place preventing them from having any contact with their son until he reaches adulthood. The pair are due to face Sydney's Downing Centre District Court on June 4. The woman will be involved in discussions about an apprehended violence order involving her son, enacted by prosecutors on his behalf, on June 11 at Central Local Court. For legal reasons, none of the parties involved can be named.

Ugh! Just reading the title makes me sick. They've ruined that poor boys life.
There isn't enough therapy in the world to fix that one I'm afraid. My hopes go out to that poor boy.
Sounds like they had a kid just so they could have a sex toy.
Some people really shouldn't be allowed to have babies.
There is no penalty sufficiently equivalent to what they've done to their son. I wish I believed in hell.
The whole world is FULL of messages that ANY sex with minors is a Definite No-Go because it always harms the kids involved. That is not new, that is not some debated science, that is just how it always has been.
...So where are the folks that still go for that kind of abuse while this message is all around us? What is wrong with them?
