David Epstein, 46, was charged Thursday with one count of third-degree incest. Police told the Spectator that the relationship appeared consensual.

Where is the "between consenting adults" crowd on this one?

They are busy sbmitting approving comments on HuffPo:

"[I] say just as long as they are doing proper family planning (that is, various forms of birth-cont­rol) to make sure they do not produce an offspring, which would be high-risk for a myriad of genetic disorders, I see no crime.

Gross? Yes. But, sometimes-­-especiall­y in a free republic--­you have to put aside universal morality and just let people live their lives. We are no longer a Puritan society."

"Public shame will be sufficient to end this. It is not a viable coupling. Apparently it's an issue between consenting adults. I'm not sure on what principles the charges would be, considerin­g that law would have to arbitraril­y override individual liberty of consenting adults. They do it already with prostitute­s and their patrons, but consenting adults should not be charged with crimes for what they agree to do."
