A man who set up a hidden video camera to film paranormal activity in his kitchen accidentally caught his girlfriend having sex with his teenage son.

Instead of capturing ghosts on camera, the father, from Tasmania, Australia, was horrified to find footage of his lover and 16-year-old son kissing and cuddling.

"O tempora o mores"

I've never read Cicero so don't know what that means

Only in Tasmania

More information has come to light...

"Because they were distantly related, she thought it was legal in Tasmania (no matter how old he was)"

I was going to say it is a highly unusual event in Tasmania because they weren't related.

She was just "keeping it in the family".

But in all seriousness, she should go to prison for a long time. Imagine if the victim was female and the perpetrator was male.

Could not agree more.

"And another good scheme, went wrong." From the boy's point of view.

I'm surprised you can re-member that, Alan...

Totally inadequate!!! As I stated previously, imagine if it was a 28 year old man and a 16 year old girl!!

rustynutz · **Reply #17: May 27, 2013, 11:38:34**

Happens all the time....

Personally, I don't see it as anything major.
Would it have been such an issue in any other State of Australia?

So then the father should also be put in jail for what he did 11 years ago,he was 12 years her senior(from what I have heard and read) when they met she was only 17 when they met,I remember when I was 15,I was bedded by a 26 year old woman,I was stoked,the infidelity would be my bigger concern, has anyone heard the lad complaining,only complaining he would have done was when his father caught him

The age of consent in Tassie is 17, so he didn't break the law. She did, and even when she knew it was illegal she continued!!

I agree but this is par for the course.
A male offender will always get a longer stretch than a female would and you have to ask why.
The law is there to equally protect, I would have thought.
