A slaughterhouse worker who impregnated his half-sister in Australia has been deported to New Zealand after being found guilty of committing incest.
The man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, had drunken sex with his half-sister when he was 25 and she was 16 at their mother’s home in Melbourne in 2017.
She later gave birth to a boy.
Victoria Police were alerted to the incest and in July 2018, shortly after the child’s birth, executed a search warrant at the Queen Elizabeth Centre, where the mother was recovering with the child.
Police confiscated one of the boy’s diapers and took samples of his pacifier for DNA samples.

In May 2021, the man was arrested and provided police with a DNA sample. The results showed that he was 1.6 million times more likely to be the biological father than another man drawn at random from the population.
She moved out of her mother’s house after the incest occurred, but returned once the baby was born to help raise him.
However, once arrested, he was prohibited from contacting his half-sister.
In May last year, the man pleaded guilty in the Victoria County Court to sexual penetration of a brother or half-brother and was sentenced to 6 months in prison.

Despite the guilty plea, he struggled to accept responsibility for his actions, telling a neuropsychologist: “I was angry and she came at me like a dirty piece of shit.”
The man also had a litany of previous convictions committed in 2016 and 2017, including possession of ammunition and a knife, affrays occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of dangerous drugs.
He was born in Australia to New Zealand citizens before moving to the country at age 4. She returned to Australia at age 21.
His visa has now been revoked and he has been sent back to New Zealand after an appeal, according to a February decision by Australia’s Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
This despite a threat to his life.
“Plaintiff said he spoke to his father via Facetime about incest some time after he moved out of his mother’s home,” the court states.
“He said his father was embarrassed and told him not to return to New Zealand and that if he did he would kill him.”
The man was described as being of “low average intelligence and limited education”, and had held limited jobs in a slaughterhouse and in cleaning roles.
He appealed the Australian Immigration Minister’s decision to cancel his visa.
The appeal court heard from witnesses, including his mother and half-sister, who said he was “not a bad person”.
“She said she had learned from her mistakes and should be allowed to remain in Australia,” the court states.
“He said that his son admires the applicant and loves him unconditionally and that he would be very upset if the applicant were deported.”
The appeal was dismissed and he was deported.
The man’s crimes were deemed to have caused “serious harm to people in the Australian community and, in particular, long-term harm to the victim of his incest crime, his family and his son”.
“He is not a person who has lived in Australia from a very young age,” the court ruled.
‘He spent his formative years in New Zealand and returned to Australia as an adult.
‘His crimes began shortly after his arrival. Although he has been in Australia for about nine years, he has made few positive contributions to the community.’
