To date, incest remains one of the most spoken-against occurrences worldwide. While many argue that it is okay as long as both parties are of legal age, incest remains a crime punishable by the law in some parts of the world. In 2020, a father, Travis Fieldgrove , received a maximum jail sentence after being intimate with and marrying his daughter, Samantha. Here are the details of the story.
How Did Samantha And Travis Meet?
For the longest time, Samantha had desired to discover the identity of her biological father. She asked her mother, who never replied, but insisted on telling her daughter when she was older. Finally, when Samantha was 17, her mom decided it was the right time. The woman called Samantha’s father, Travis, and let him know it was time to meet his daughter.
