William Glen Davis, 54, 23095 Tyler Road, Lakeville, was arrested at 5:46 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, on a charge of incest. Davis is president of Lake City Heat Treating Corporation, 2427 N. Boeing Road, Warsaw.Why do they include a picture, name, address, and his business? How is that relevant??? Why not hand the bigots pitchforks???
Notice the charge is "incest" and not "assault."
According to information from authorities at the Warsaw Police Department, police were notified of a domestic complaint Thursday, Jan. 17, on West Point Drive, Warsaw.These days, neighbors can call in a "domestic complaint" and the police are usually obligated to investigate. No proof other than what the caller says need be offered. On the other hand, it could be that someone inside the home was scared and called the police. We aren't given enough detail.
Detectives went to the scene and during the interview with an adult female involved in the domestic complaint, she told police she had been having sexual relations with a relative. That relative was Davis.
Police report the relationship had been going on for some time and was confirmed by both parties involved.
Davis was interviewed by police and arrested following the interview. Charges have been signed and filed with the prosecutor’s office.
A few things to say:
1) She is an adult.
2) Sexual relations and assault are two very different things. He was arrested for "incest" and not assault.
3) Indiana, like most states, doesn't criminalize sex between first cousins, so unless police acted outside the law, that means this relative is either his mother (or grandmother), daughter (or granddaughter), niece, aunt, or sister, because Indiana DOES still criminalize sex between those consenting adults.
4) Perhaps they didn't know that sex between consenting adults is still criminalized in Indiana, and so they had no hesitation to tell the police they have sex? Here's what consanguinamorous people need to do to protect themselves.
More charges are expected pending further investigation.What does that mean? That the woman, who also broke the unconstitutional law, is going to get arrested and charged? THIS IS A WASTE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES! If he assaulted her or anyone else, charge him with that. If consenting adults are having sex, that shouldn't be crime. Consanguineous sex happens every day not far from where you are reading this, wherever you are. Thankfully, most of it never results in an arrest. Stop this senseless persecution. There is no good reason to deny them their right to be together. We need relationships rights for all, including full marriage equality, everywhere.
UPDATE: She was arrested, too.
assault is a crime not love.
ReplyDeleteReally too many things left out. Comments are running along the lines of “why wasn’t she arrested too?” Good question.
ReplyDeleteGood report. Google didn't show me that one. Let's hope newspaper and other reports also keep records of prosecuting police, lawyers, judges, and publishers that were involved in the 'human sacrifice' (public humiliation, arrest, detention and any other punishments ( as you said unconsitutional) so that in future they will all be held to account and be forced to publicly apologize for their crimes against this individual, ( as police, and newspapers, and politicians have all apologized to homosexuals for crimes committed against them by such organisations in the past in Australia.If a Royal Commission says in its recommendations that prostitution, homosexuality, abortion and ACI should not be criminal offences, ( and that in 1976 - nearly 50 years ago, it was probably as right then as now.
