Court documents have revealed that a father and daughter at the centre of a South Australian incest scandal had previously had a child who died of a congenital disease.
The pair, John and Jenny Deaves, began a sexual relationship and had two children after Jenny tracked down the father she had never known.
The Deaves and their apparently healthy nine-month-old baby daughter were featured on 60 Minutes last night.
John and Jenny Deaves were found guilty last month of a single charge of performing an act of incest with the other.
Court documents show that another child they had in 2001 died soon after being born.
The sentencing remarks show the pair were charged with two counts of incest in 2007 after police were tipped off about their relationship following an investigation by the Department for Families and Communities South Australia.
The pair were initially bailed on the condition that Mr Deaves have no contact with Ms Deaves or their child — a condition the judge said drove Mr Deaves to attempt suicide twice.
