A Member Of The Accused Colt 'Incest Family' Has Been Denied Bail
A man accused of sexually abusing young relatives in the context of alleged widespread generational incest on a rural property has been denied bail and will remain behind bars as he awaits trial in February 2020.
Prosecutors allege children were born from various incestuous relationships between people on the property, and that it had been happening over generations.He was refused bail in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday morning by Justice Robert Hulme, who said he was concerned about the possibility of interfering with witnesses and the lack of community ties Colt would have at his proposed bail address.
"This is a family who is alleged to have been involved in an alarming level of intra-familiar sexual activity, many of it constituting criminal offences, and it might be perceived there is a mutual interest in those members of the family who are Crown witnesses being encouraged, to put it mildly, to modify — again, to put it mildly — the evidence they might give in the future proceedings.
Crown prosecutor Mardi Cartwright said there was evidence from at least one child witness that Colt had issued a"verbal threat" to not mention at school what was allegedly happening within the family. He also argued there was a dearth of evidence relating specifically to Colt, and that he also has no criminal history."This is a word on word case," McAuliffe said.
