Just being honest.
Its creepy as hell and I certainly don't advocate incest, but I'm not sure the answer is incarceration for two adults. The damage is done for the adult daughter who chooses to be with her father and the child already exists. Possibly social services, with counseling, mandates and monitoring such that the father and daughter not have an intimate/sexual relationship should be put in place.
I also don't support adultery or consensual sodomy being illegal, and they were for a long time. Nor do I think that voluntary prostitution for adults should be illegal. I really don't like the government regulating what consenting adults do with their bodies on the whole. I can see it being illegal to bring another life into it, but that's not what they're being arrested for. They're being arrested for having sex with each other because it's "obscene", if I understand the charges properly.
Didn't mean to freak anybody out, just think it's a complex issue and not sure that what may end up being minimal jail time is a better solution or future deterrent than something more therapeutic and reform-oriented in nature; to me it's literally sick what they've chosen to do.
Just my apparently very unique opinion and uncertainty in the matter.
