David Epstein Incest Charges: Columbia Professor Charged With Sleeping With Daughter
Huffington Post ^

Posted on 12/10/2010 8:51:15 AM PST by mimi from mi

A Columbia political science professor has been charged with having a sexual relationship with his 24-year-old daughter, the Columbia Daily Spectator reports.

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

Epstein is currently on administrative leave.

According to the New York Daily News, Epstein and the woman had a three-year sexual relationship and often exchanged "twisted text messages."

The Spectator reports that Epstein is married to another Columbia political science professor, Sharyn O'Halloran, though a recent update to his Facebook page says he is single. The couple was featured in a 2008 Spectator article about professors who "bring love to work."

"Our complementary skills lead to a great partnership," O'Halloran told the Spectator.

One student described Epstein, who was teaching a class on game theory this semester, as a "very nice guy." Outside of his professorial duties, Epstein also blogged for this website, on topics ranging from torture to Sarah Palin.

They have a number of co-authored papers, I see. That’s keeping it close.

Wonder if he wants to be close to her right now. Wifey may be in the market for castration devices.

I predict that their days of co-authoring are over.

How was this incest discovered? Did Epstein brag about it or was there some other way it was revealed?
