Virginia Isn't For Lovers Because They Still Prosecute Them

We have yet more proof that people are intensely fascinated by consanguinamory. But of course the bigots will still pretend this is so extreme and never happens. It's another apparent case of reunion Genetic Sexual Attraction that is tying up public resources because of ridiculous laws against adults having sex with each other. From wowktv.com...

A North Carolina man and his biological daughter face incest charges after warrants say they had a sexual relationship and planned to marry.

Oh! The horror! People wanting to... get married!

Katie Rose Pladl was born in January 1998 to Steven Walter Pladl and her mother and then legally adopted out of state.

When Katie Pladl turned 18, she used social media to reach out to her biological parents, according to warrants.

So he was raised to adulthood by another family. I know logic isn't really something bigots grasp, so let's be perfectly clear: SHE WAS AND IS AN ADULT. And there was no grooming involved.

After making contact with them, she moved to their home just west of Richmond, Virginia, in August 2016 and began to live with her biological parents and their two other children.

Steven Pladl and his wife legally separated in November 2016 and the wife moved out, warrants say.

The wife told authorities that Steven Pladl would sleep on the floor of Katie’s room in the month before she moved out.

Well if there is something wrong with that, then I sure hope nobody ever goes camping. What do people think happened throughout most of human history, with large families living in one room?

On May 23, 2017, Steven Pladl’s wife read in the journal of one of her children that Katie was pregnant and Steven Pladl was the father.

And...? Women who are 18, 19, or 20 get pregnant all of the time. The ex is a jealous rat.

Warrants say Steven Pladl told his other children to call Katie Pladl their step-mom.

So? If she was functioning to them more like a mother than a sibling, that makes sense. Those kids were not raised with her.

Warrants also say the wife called Steven Pladl and asked him if he had impregnated their adult biological daughter. Steven Pladl told his wife he was the father of Katie’s child and that they planned to marry.

Until the laws are changed, people in his position should never admit to anyone but an ally what is going on. For the most part, keep that closet door closed.

On May 31, 2017, the Henrico County Child Advocacy Center interviewed the Pladl’s two other children, who told the Center that they had been told Steven was the father of Katie’s baby.

Why is it any of the Center's business?!? Notice that there is nothing here indicating ANY child abuse.

At some point after May 31, 2017, Katie and Steven Pladl moved to Wake County.

On Nov. 29, 2017, Henrico County police issued warrants for the arrest of Katie and Steven Pladl.

Why? That's a waste of public resources.

The Pladls were located at a home on Earlston Court in the city limits of Knightdale and arrested on Jan. 27.

What's the point of essentially giving their address? So bigots can do hate crimes against them???

A baby boy was with the Pladls when Knightdale police officers found them. Warrants say that baby was born in September 2017.

Notice there is no indication anything is wrong with the baby. Except now the baby's parents are being persecuted by their own government. What's more disruptive to a child? Having parents who are in love with each other or being ripped away from their parents due to prejudice? Hmmmm.

Both Steve and Katie Pladl are being held at the Wake County Detention Center pending extradition to Virginia.
They are both charged with incest with adult, adultery, contributing to delinquency.

Both were each issued a $1 million bond.

Steven Pladl has since been released on bond but Katie remains in jail, court records show.

There's no victim, other than victims the arrests and prosecution are creating. This is outrageous. Nobody was being hurt.

We have no way of knowing what Steven's marriage was like before their genetic a daughter moved in. We don't know if it was open at all, or if it was dead, or what the marriage was like. What we do know is that Steven and Katie are in love and they're not hurting anyone. Prosecuting them is a travesty.

The story has been reported at foxnews...

The ex-wife told Richmond’s WTVR-TV that her former husband and Katie married in Maryland and then moved to North Carolina.

She believes her ex-husband brainwashed and manipulated Katie, the station reported.

If she really believes that, it is because she had no understanding of GSA. Having adopted out a child, it's sad that nobody educated her on it.

“This is a pretty unique set of facts I would say,” the station’s legal analyst Todd Stone said.

What? This is hardly unique, as even a basic search of legal cases would reveal.

Moving from one state to another can help in these relationships, but since there was an apparently jealous ex involved, it wasn't enough.

While it is outrageous that these two consenting adults would be prosecuted, at least we know that the majority of consanguinamorous relationships are never broken up by law enforcement. There is no good reason to deny consenting adults their right to marry, and we must keep moving towards full marriage equality so that we make it happen sooner rather than later. Stop with the hate and get on the right side of history! Has Virginia learned nothing since prosecuting Loving?
