Due to the fact that I am on Jury Duty until the end of September, I get weekly email updates from the Commonwealth Attorney’s office. Its stories like this that give KY a bad name:
Commonwealth v. James Deaver
In August of 2006, a social worker Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children’s Dept. of Community Based Services reported to Covington Police that James Deaver, 40, of Newport, was believed to have impregnated his sister, Linda Deaver, 37. Covington Detective Brian Frodge discovered that James Deaver was a registered sex offender after having been convicted of Incest in Campbell County in 1998. Det. Frodge also learned that the prior Incest conviction was the result of a consensual sexual relationship with Linda Deaver. The prior relationship resulted in the birth of a child that was seriously developmentally delayed.

After awaiting the birth of the second child, Frodge obtained DNA sampled from the child and James Deaver. DNA testing through the KY State Police Forensic Crime Lab indicated that there was a 99.99% chance that James Deaver was the father. Frodge obtained arrest warrants for both James and Linda Deaver in November, 2007.

Both Deavers were indicted for Incest in February of 2008. Linda Deaver pled guilty as charged on March 26, 2008 and agreed to testify against James Deaver. On June 30, 2008, James Deaver also pled guilty as charged. After receiving proof from defense counsel that James Deaver had voluntarily undergone a procedure to render him incapable of fathering more children, Asst. Commonwealth’s Attorney Laura Ward recommended a sentence of 5 years probated for 5 years on the condition that he have no contact with Linda Deaver and continue to register a sexual offender. Final sentencing for both defendants is July 29, 2008.
Here is the lovely couple:
