A 26-year-old woman from Hong Kong, referred to as C.C.M to protect her identity, together with her father, C.P.K., pleaded guilty to two counts of incest.
Apparently, the father, a Chinese medicine practitioner, was about to tie the knot with his fiancée, but his own daughter was desperate to stop the marriage. According to reports, the woman was deprived of her mother’s love, and was always dependent on her father. To stop her father from marrying his fiancée, she offers to have sex with him to ‘hopefully’ change his mind.
“She offered to have sex, hoping that he would change his mind,” the girl’s lawyer argued in mitigation. The report added the two sexual encounters arose from “misplaced love, infatuation and devotion to her father”.
Reports say that this wasn’t the first time that the father and daughter engaged in sex. As a matter of fact, the woman’s brother, a secondary school pupil, caught them ‘doing it’. The boy reported the incident to the police to save his sister, not knowing that it was actually his sister who instigated the act.
However, the lawyer asked the judge to take into account the devotion the daughter had for his father, while assuring that the chance of re-offending would be low.
“It serves no purpose to society to lock her up and punish her,” she argued, adding that what her client needed was help.
The co-defendants await sentencing on June 12.
