I'm kind of sputtering here with this story. A 61-year-old Australian man and his 39-year-old daughter are raising their 9-month-old biological child. Um, ew?

The story goes something like this: When Jenny Deaves was 31, she reunited with her father, who had abandoned his family when Jenny was just a year old. When they met again for the first time as adults, instead of reliving old times, they (ghaah!) fell in love.

Each was married, but their new-found love kind of got in the way of those relationships. Annnnd, the clothes came off.

What about the baby? Well, she's actually the second child they conceived together. The first, a son, dies of a congenital disease within days of birth. The little girl, however, appears to be perfectly healthy.

Here's what the happy couple has to say about their unconventional -- and illegal! -- relationship.

She said that soon after reuniting with John she saw him as a man first and her father second.

"I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he's not too bad," she said. "Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub."

Mr Deaves 61, who lives with his daughter in the town of Mount Gambier, South Australia, admitted he "initially" thought having sex with her was wrong, but "emotions took over".

"I knew it was illegal, of course I knew, but you know, so what," he said.

She said sex with Papa was like sex with any other man (hardly a glowing endorsement, but maybe she's being modest). He on the other hand calls sex with his little pumpkin "absolutely fantastic!" 

On a legal note, they are basically on parole for incest and have been ordered to not have sex. Apparently, that's being monitored by law enforcement, which, I don't know, that's just freaking bizarre too.
