Father and daughter who had incestuous relationship jailed for 16 months

Father and daughter who had incestuous relationship jailed for 16 months
Jun 9 2010 By Billy Paterson

A FATHER and daughter who had an incestuous affair were each jailed for 16 months yesterday.

Stephen Paterson, 44, and Kirsty Paterson, 26, became infatuated with each other after she turned up on his doorstep in Girvan two years ago.

Until then, he never knew she existed.

Even after they appeared in court on incest charges, the pair breached bail conditions to have sex in a B&B in Ayr.

Paterson's school sweetheart, Sarah-Louise Milne, became pregnant by him in 1983.

She left Girvan and on January 17 the following year gave birth to Kirsty, who was adopted and brought up by a couple in Lanark.

But she wanted to find her biological parents and traced her dad Stephen Paterson - who was by then a married bus driver with a stepson.

They soon became intimate. Kirsty moved from Lanark to Girvan, where she met her father's family and friends.

Paterson and his daughter began to form a relationship which his wife, Rosemary Alcroft, felt "uncomfortable" with.

Gale Harding, prosecuting, told an earlier hearing at Ayr Sheriff Court: "Rosemary Alcroft was the account holder for both her and her husband's mobile phone.

"On June 7, 2009, she uncovered messages between Stephen Paterson and his daughter."

She said the messages indicated that the father and daughter "were engaged in a sexual relationship".

Mrs Harding said: "The parties referred to each other as 'daddy' and 'daughter'."

When Paterson arrived home that afternoon, police were waiting for him.

Mrs Harding said: "They both admitted engaging in consensual sexual intercourse on one occasion at Kirsty Paterson's address in Girvan."

They were released on bail with the condition that they did not approach or contact each other.

But on June 30 a neighbour of Paterson's who knew about the case saw the pair together in Prestwick - and contacted police.

They both admitted having sex again in a bed and breakfast in Ayr.

They appeared separately yesterday before Sheriff Carole Cunningham, having admitted incest charges and breaking bail.

Colin Adam, defending, said Stephen Paterson had lost his marriage, his job and been "ostracised" in the community.

Robert Campbell, defending Kirsty, said: "She felt her father was very proud of her and for the first time she felt loved by someone and grew close to her father emotionally."

Sheriff Cunningham told the pair: "The gravity of this case is such that a custodial sentence is the only appropriate disposal."

Dad, 43, and daughter face jail for incest
PERV BEDDED HIS GIRL IN SICK TRYSTS

By Ron Moore and Graham McKendry, 17/01/2010

A DEPRAVED dad and his daughter are facing jail for having a warped sexual AFFAIR.


Sick Stephen Paterson sneaked off to bed his own child Kirsty when she managed to track him down two decades after she'd been put up for adoption.


But the bus driver's illicit trysts were rumbled when shocked wife Rosemary found a string of filthy text messages between the pair.


Now pervy Paterson, 43, and shop assistant Kirsty, 27, are awaiting sentence after admitting INCEST - and could be jailed for two years.


Last night a source close to the disgusted wife's family raged: "To them he is nothing but a vile beast - a MONSTER who betrayed them."


Kirsty was born exactly 27 years ago today after a fling between Paterson and an Ayrshire crimper, who were both 16 at the time.


The teenage parents put the tot up for adoption, and she was raised by a Lanarkshire family.


But just over two years ago Kirsty tracked down her dad in Girvan, Ayrshire, where she also now lives. And within months she and her new-found father were meeting for SEX at her home.


Their twisted affair was rumbled after suspicious Rosemary, 39, checked his mobile phone and found the disgusting texts.


The messages - in which the pair refer to each other as "daddy" and "daughter" are too sexually graphic to publish.


The shocked wife immediately called in the cops and threw out her shaven-headed hubby.


Our source revealed: "Rosemary was absolutely horrified when she found out that her husband was secretly having sex with his own daughter behind her back.


"She was so sickened that she reported them to the police. Her family have severed all ties with Paterson and Kirsty. The pair deserve to be caged. They knew what they were doing is illegal."


The pair were interviewed by police and ordered to stay away from each other until they appeared in court. But they were then spotted visiting a B&B in Prestwick on June 20 last year.


At Ayr Sheriff Court this week, Kirsty pled guilty to having sex with Paterson at her Girvan home and the B&B in March and June 2009.






Paterson had pleaded guilty earlier to the same offences. Incest is a criminal offence with a maximum jail term of two years.


Depute fiscal Gail Harding said: "On June 7, 2009, Mr Paterson's wife uncovered messages sent to and from her husband's phone.


"They indicated that the two were engaged in a sexual relationship. And they refer to each other as 'daddy' and 'daughter'. The messages were of an explicit nature."


Kirsty's defence lawyer said: "They met as adults and have not enjoyed a normal father-daughter relationship."


Some psychologists have claimed that parents and adopted children who are reunited after decades apart can be affected by a syndrome called Genetic Sexual Attraction.


And it is believed that this can sometimes lead to incestuous affairs.


Sentence on both father and daughter was deferred until next month by Sheriff Carole Cunninghame. Kirsty refused to comment as she left the court.


Last night the News of The World tried to speak to Paterson at his parents' home in Girvan. Dressed in a football top and boxer shorts, he ducked behind the front door and whined: "I don't want to talk about this."
