A Chinese lady have been charged to court for seducing her father and having sex with him because she disapproved of the woman he was engages to.
The 26-year-old had intercourse with her 58-year-old dad twice in 2009.
The unidentified lady, according to a psychological report, was “deprived of her mother’s love” and the sexual encounters stemmed from “misplaced love, infatuation and devotion to her father”.
The district court in Hong Kong heard that the pair’s intimate relationship began when the daughter was 19-years-old, the South China Morning Post reports.
He did not realise that it was consensual.
“This case is highly unusual. She offered to have sex, hoping that he would change his mind," her defense attorney said.
She also said her client once tried to tell the prosecutors to hold her fully responsible so that her father could walk free.
“That shows the extent of devotion and infatuation the defendant had for her father.
“It serves no purpose to society to lock her up and punish her,” she said.
Judge Timothy Caswell sought a probation officer’s report to study the possibility of a non-custodial sentence for the woman, but refused to do the same for her father.
They will both be sentenced on June 12.
