A paedophile has been jailed after committing incest with his 23-year-old daughter he gave up for adoption when she was a baby.
Frank Humphreys, 51, of Cleator Moor, Cumbria, was given a 21 month sentence after pleading guilty to having sex with an adult relative.
His daughter, Eleanor Jackson, who also admitted the same charge at an earlier hearing, had been put up for adoption when she was 17 months old.
Ms Jackson tracked down her estranged father in 2010 and went to live with him, along with her twin sister, before the pair started a sexual relationship, the News & Star reports.
Friends and family became suspicious after observing the pair behaving in an ‘overtly sexualised manner’, the court heard.
‘Their relationship was overt and sexual and [they] were involved with each other in a full physical relationship,’ said prosecutor Tim Brennand.
Humphreys, who has a previous conviction for underage sex with a 15-year-old girl, was also put on the sex offenders register.
Jackson was given a two-year community order and put on the sex offender register for five years following the hearing at Carlisle crown court.
