Sick. Effing. Pervert.

The 56-year-old divorced man repeatedly attacked his offspring between 1980 and February this year.

The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted 25 rapes and four indecent assaults.

His actions echo those of Austrian Joseph Fritzl, who fathered seven children with his daughter after trapping her in a cellar.

Unlike Fritzl, the British dad controlled his victims with decades of mental torture.

His victims were too terrified to tell their mother, but eventually turned to social workers this year.

My question is, where was the mother, and how could she not know that something was wrong? Who did she think had fathered her grand children?

This man raped his kids for twenty-five years.

What’s the betting that he used to have daddy/daughter fantasies before he started?

I hope he gets beaten and tortured everyday of his life in prison. Death would almost be too good for him.

Just in case I haven’t been clear enough on my stance on incestuous relationships within romance books…

Brothers fucking brothers/fathers shagging sons/daughters shagging brothers/ fathers shagging daughters/mothers fucking their sons, and other familial combinations is just plain wrong in my opinion. These storylines may be popular, but they aren’t romance. They are fetish. Of the worst kind at that, as far as I’m concerned.

And another thing; a guy who has little girl fantasies doesn’t belong on the pages of a romance book. He belongs in jail. Pure and simple. In real life, a guy who has such fantasies will inevitably find a child (or many children) to sexually abuse. I can’t ever see beyond that fact, let alone view it as romantic.

The day that these kind of storylines go mainstream under the banner of romance, will be the day that I start reading inspirationals.
