yeeesh, that’s so hideous.
What's wrong with that?...
Liberals are such nice people.........
I’m not sure which is worse - the crime itself, or that he was allowed to plead out of it...
Can a book deal be far off?
The Libs are pretty messed up.
The elites in our country are now a force unto themselves. He’s getting the Dominique Strauss-Kahn treatment.
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.
“Sources said the victim was over 18 when the relationship began in 2006 ......”
Yeah, I’ll bet it only began when she was of age, sure.
This is so disgusting that I almost physically feel like I’m smelling something bad. Even if it really did begin when the daughter was over 18 (which I don’t believe at all), a parent could NEVER have a truly consensual relationship with a child. That parent/child inequality will always be there. We are set up to trust and lean on our parents for our entire lives (which is why it feels so weird when parents hit old age and have to lean on us instead). I hope all his friends shun him completely and he ends up leaving the country. How horrible.
From the same twisted freaks who insinuate Southerners are rife with this kind of thing. Yet, when it’s their own, it’s some kind of enlightened state of mind that indulges in unconventional sex.
"When then-Sen. Rick Santorum made the reductio ad absurdum argument in 2003 that same-sex marriage would lead to legitimating bigamy, polygamy, incest, and, indeed, anything, Slate supported his logic, asking, Incest repellent? If gay sex is private, why isnt incest?...
"In 2010, Columbia political science professor David Epstein was discovered to have been having an incestuous though consensual relationship with his 24-year-old daughter. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison. But under the rubric of marriage equality, there should be no crime here, and nothing to shock. How Victorian, after all. Is the relationship unnatural? Apparently were beyond that."

As a man, I can't imagine looking at a kid, let alone my own, and think...that.
Men are supposed to protect their kids, especially their daughters, from predators.
Based on the lawyer’s reasoning that Epstein’s daughter was an “accomplice” rather than “victim,” can the FL prosecutors use the same argument for Casey Anthony? (of course, the claim there is that the abuse started when she was 8 years old).
Heard on the Hudson: “Row faster. I hear banjos.”
No wonder he hated Palin. She is the opposite of a pervert child molester. He’s for the Kenyan!
