Dad gets daughter pregnant, both arrested for incest after newborn dies from medical complications
A South Carolina father and his daughter have been arrested by the Laurens County Sheriff's Department after it emerged that the pair had engaged in a consensual, incestuous relationship that resulted in the daughter giving birth to their baby. 20-year-old Katlyn Lauren Edwards was booked on charges of incest while her father, 38-year-old James Travis Brown is currently already incarcerated in another county on unrelated charges and is expected to face charges in Laurens County upon release.
According to a press release by the Laurens County Sheriff's Department, investigators learned that Edwards had "given birth to a child after being impregnated by her biological father" after receiving an Intake report from South Carolina's department of social services regarding an alleged sexual abuse incident.
