Here’s the latest in a case I previously wrote about here.
They were consenting adults. This shouldn’t be a criminal matter.
The police got involved in a convoluted way, initiated by her.
If she should have been charged with anything, she should have been charged with making a false report to police. There should be no criminal sentence for consensual sex. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any consenting adults.
A 24-year-old woman who had sex with her father, pleaded guilty to incest yesterday.
The technical executive is the first woman in Singapore to be charged with incest.
They were consenting adults. This shouldn’t be a criminal matter.
According to earlier reports, father and daughter were always close. When the girl became a teenager she attended drinking session with her father and his friends at coffee shops.
Their relationship became intimate in 2006 when they started hugging and kissing. She was 18 years old then.
Over time, they progressed to touching and fondling each other's private parts when they were alone in the family flat.
On the day of the incident, they had an argument while he was lying on the bed in the master bedroom and she was checking her e-mails on her laptop at the edge of the bed.
She apologised to him and he asked for a hug. Things progressed and they eventually had sex that night.
The police got involved in a convoluted way, initiated by her.
There will be another hearing in a month's time, when a judge will decide if the woman should be given probation or a jail term.
If she should have been charged with anything, she should have been charged with making a false report to police. There should be no criminal sentence for consensual sex. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any consenting adults.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. 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.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
