Incest

The two characters involved in the Hollyoaks incest storyline...


Incest is identified as ‘sexual relations’ concerning directly linked individuals. The nature of sexual activity and the sort of the relationship between persons that establish a infringement of law and social taboo in a number of by cultures and by jurisdiction.
“The majority of incest cases reported in scientific studies are between adults and prepubescent or adolescent children, and particularly between fathers or other male relatives, and girls. This is a form of child sexual abuse that has been shown to be one or the most extreme forms of childhood trauma, a trauma which often does serious and long-term psychological damage, especially in the case of parental incest.”

Equally agreed adult incest is extremely rare, found exclusively where relations were estranged early in life and consequently did not have or gain early connection or involvement and the ‘related development of the natural adaptation for incest avoidance.’


This is an Austalian couple, who are father and daughter but also in a "relationship." John Deaves, 61, and his daughter, Jennifer Deaves, 39, spoke of their love for each other, which yielded two children.
The pair were convicted in the South Australian District Court in Mount Gambier last month of two counts each of incest relating to the conception of their daughter, Celeste, born last year, and another baby who died in 2001, a few days after birth, from a congenital heart defect.
