A 19-year-old Amherst man failed to appear in provincial court Monday to face charges that he has been having sex with his sister.
The sister, 26, appeared in provincial court last week on the same charge - incest.
Both names are protected by a publication ban.
The real news here was buried…
He's also charged with assault on the sister, as well as breaking her glasses.
There is the story and possible crime. If he assaulted his sister and broke her property, prosecute him for that. Why is she being prosecuted at all? And neither one should be prosecuted for consensual sex. This sounds to me like possible case of domestic violence. “Man Allegedly Assaults Sister” is what the headline should have been.
It is ridiculous to waste police and court resources prosecuting consenting adults for having sex with each other. If all he did with her was make love to her, she'd certainly be better off than if he also attacked her. Every adult should have the right to love, sex, and marriage with any consenting adults.

I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
