A former Elko police captain who was convicted of incest and sentenced to prison for up to life in prison has been granted parole after serving four years.Four years is certainly a lot less than life.
He was sentenced to life in prison in 2013 with the possibility of parole after serving two years. The board turned him down in 2015.And from Toni R. Milano at elkodaily.com...
Former Elko Police captain Aaron Hughes was granted parole 48 months after being convicted of incest and sentenced to life in prison.
According to the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners, Hughes was granted parole Jan. 11. His earliest date of release from Lovelock Correctional Center is April 1.
That day might be appropriate.
“The Elko Police Department opposed an early release date and put comments in writing for various reasons,” said Police Chief Ben Reed on Monday.
“We have no outstanding issues,” he added.Maybe those issues are that the people in the department felt embarrassed?
As a reminder, Nevada is one a handful of states that criminalizes sex between first cousins as "incest" and since reports don't indicate the relation, for all we know this was sex between first cousins. The female who was 17 then has to be around the age of 26 now an should be capable of speaking up to either support this or denounce it.
OKAY.... I was going to go ahead and publish this but, before I did, I did some of my own basic searching, and it turns out that this was with his daughter, who apparently wrote "romantic" messages to him (which became evidence and prompted the investigation in the first place). At the sentencing, she expressed how much turmoil had been brought into her life, but it seemed like that could have been referring to the criminal prosecution rather than the sex. I wonder what her thoughts about everything are now? This could very well be a situation involving Genetic Sexual Attraction, meaning he didn't raise her. We aren't told one way or the other if he did. Romantic letters don't really strike me as something that would be involved if he raised her and had custody, because they would have been used to face-to-face talking. One of the questions I have now is who is the person who claimed to find the romantic letter in Hughes' home and turned it over to police? We know from an earlier report that someone by the name of Kimberly Harphant, an "acquaintance" of Hughes turned in evidence. Who is she? And what were her concerns? The 17-year-old's mother? A girlfriend or wife to Hughes unrelated to the 17-year-old? A daughter or stepdaughter of Hughes?

Reminds me of the Columbia University professor who was cheating on his with with his adult daughter. The two would send explicit text messages to each other, which were discovered by his wife. You can imagine the rest.
ReplyDeleteThe number one rule of consensual adult incest club is that you don't talk about consensual adult incest club. Forbidden relationships between consenting adults must be kept an absolute secret. Messages that describe or reference that relationship are dangerous and should be avoided.
In this particular case the daughter was 17. Not cool. At that age she is still dependent on her dad. Consent doesn't mean anything when one person has that kind of power over the other. If someone can't say no, it doesn't mean anything when she says yes. Had she been older and a fully independent adult paying her own bills and living in her own home then true consent would be possible.
I pretty much agree, but I also note that the age of consent in Nevada is 16, and it is also possible he didn't raise her and never had custody; that if she was still dependent it could have been on one or two other people. If the guy or her had asked me if they should go for it, I would have said if they still felt the same way in a couple of years, move to where it is legal and have at it,
DeleteThats very interesting anonymous. Unfortunately im not as agreeable as keith. As for the columbia professor. I dont agree with cheating. Of any kind. "The number 1 rule" of the adult incest club is not to hide. Not talking and hiding implies what you are doing is wrong. Do you really think the columbia professor and adult daughter were trying to hide their love. No. They arent stupid. If they were trying to hide their love they wouldnt send explicit texts. What you dont realize is love doesnt hide. Love demands that we make fools of ourselves and that we shout it to the world. Love demands the whole world know. As for this case. I know plenty of adult females who are dependent on their daddies and they are way past 18. I know plenty of girls who own their own homes and pay their own bills and yet do as daddy tells them. It doesnt matter how old a girl is, she will always want to please daddy.The lucky number 18 really means nothing. I know some very independent people under 18 and dont depend on anyone. There is so much information that we dont know in this case.
DeleteIts crazy how people forget the past. Throughout history girls were adult women at age 14. There wasnt anything they couldnt do. They knew how to cook, sew, have kids, take care of a home and so much more. They were adults. But over the recent years society has impossed an age limit of 18. Because of that girls stay girls and dont mature until later in life. Go out and ask an average girl over 18 if they can sew or cook or do anything to take care of a home and the answer will be they dont know how.18 really is just a number. What you need to understand is that each individual and couple is unique. We all grow and mature at different levels.They have to do whats best for them. I dont know whats best for them. Only they do.
DeleteAccording to anonymous, Forbidden relationships between consenting adults must be kept an absolute secret.
DeleteI must really be a rare breed because i dont believe in hiding who i am. I would have no problem telling the world i was in love. Even if it meant jail time or worse. There is no greater love then to lay ones life down for another.
Thats true love when you are willing to go to jail for another person. Personally im not ashamed of who i love.
Love endures everything.
Keith. If the guy or her had asked me if they should go for it, I would have said this. If you are willing to accept the consequences of your love, no matter what it is, then you are ready to be with each other.
DeleteLoving. A movie set to come out in nov.

Thats what love is people!
We all tend to think that we are alone and that we have so many enemies. So we hide who we are. But we have friends too! We have friends in keith, in jane and in so many others. We need to all be there for each other.
DeleteI completely agree with Feb. 8th Anon. Age actually is important, doesn't matter that throughout history 14 year olds have been considered adults. Societies in general now know better because of how the brain develops that 14 years olds aren't even close to being fully functioning adults.
ReplyDeleteAnd legal adults who will do whatever their parents tell them to, even and maybe especially if they're living on their own, is really worrisome. Not healthy for a legal adult, so in those cases I'd really question how full functioning the adult is.
I overlooked the living on her own part in Feb. 8th Anon's comment. As you (generic you a.k.a whoever's reading my commment), probably guessed from my above comment, I don't think that legal adults must necessarily live on their own to require consent since 1) Many legal adults in different cultures live with their parents until they marry & that is considered normal (both historically & curently), and 2) The Great Recession has made it very difficult for many people to find jobs and/or afford their own place to live.
