These people had ANOTHER kid..
A South Australian woman who has an infant daughter after having sex with her father gave birth to another of his children seven years ago.
The child was conceived in Rockhampton, Queensland, but died a few days after birth because of a congenital heart disease, according to court records.
Jennifer Anne Deaves, 39, and John Earnest Deaves, 61, each pleaded guilty in the South Australian District Court on March 20 to two counts of performing an act of incest with the other.
Sentencing transcripts reveal that their daughter, Celeste, and Ms Deaves's two other children from a previous marriage were taken into care by South Australia's Department for Families and Communitiesbut had since been returned.
South Australian District Court judge Steven Millsteed took into account the pair's early guilty pleas and the "consensual nature of your relationship" and recorded a single conviction for each of them.
They were released on a $500 good behaviour bond.
According to the transcripts, Mr Deaves was married to Ms Deaves's mother about 40 years ago.
She divorced him when he was serving a prison sentence for armed robbery, while Ms Deaves was three or four years old.
Mr Deaves's former wife did not encourage contact between him and his daughter, and it was about 30 years before they resumed contact.
By about 2000, Mr Deaves was living with another wife and child at Yongala in South Australia and Ms Deaves was living with a former husband and two children, now nine and 11, in Sydney.
Ms Deaves took her two children to stay with Mr Deaves in 2000 for about three weeks, during which time they became attracted to each other but did not develop a physical relationship.
Later in the year Mr and Ms Deaves each ended their marriages and began living together and moved to Rockhampton.
The first count of incest related to the conception of the first child while the second related to their second, Celeste, who was born last year after the couple moved to Port Pirie in South Australia.
They then moved to Bordertown in South Australia where the couple attracted the attention of the Department for Families and Communities.
"The police subsequently investigated the matter. When interviewed by police you both made full admissions," Judge Millsteed told the pair during sentencing.
Judge Millsteed said the offences were "atypical" cases of incest.
"This is not a case where a father has violated his daughter and used his position of authority to take advantage of her powerlessness," he said.
