Brother and sister who fell in love and had three kids together guilty of incest

brother and sister who fell in love and had three kids together guilty of incest<br><br>A BROTHER and sister who say they are in love and have had three kids together have been convicted of incest today. <br><br>Full House star Jodie Sweetin’s memoirs 'unsealed' as she describes being 'gang-raped at 14'<br><br>Chantelle Lee, 24, and her brother Mark Lee, 34, appeared in the dock at Ipswich Crown Court in Suffolk, England. <br><br>Chantelle, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, waived her right to anonymity in the case. She has previously spoken out about how society should accept incest between consenting adults. <br><br>Chantelle gave birth to the couple's third incestuous child in August, after their two sons died in infancy. <br><br>The siblings were convicted of two counts of incest, with Mark cleared of a third count of having unprotected sex with his sister. <br><br>Judge Mr Justice Jeremy Cooke adjourned the case for sentencing later after Chantelle revealed she was suffering from a severe mental health episode. <br><br>Judge Cooke told the court: “I am not satisfied there is sufficient evidence that I should proceed with sentencing today. I am satisfied there is evidence of mental health issues. <br><br>“The question is what order should I make today. There are three options: to adjourn the case, to impose a hospital order, or to proceed with sentencing. <br><br>“Miss Lee’s mental health issues will be investigated, and she will be sentenced on January 12. <br><br>“At the present time I do not propose to renew Mr Lee’s bail. I have to make sure Miss Lee is properly and appropriately sentenced.” <br><br>He told Chantelle: “I have decided not to send you to prison today. It is much more likely you will receive an appropriate sentence by me by receiving appropriate mental health treatment. <br><br>“I am satisfied there is evidence of a mental health issue. I hope between now and January 12 a bed will be available for you in a hospital to receive the care and treatment you require. <br><br>“If not I will have to consider other options. I can only deal with today’s sentencing. If a bed is available at a hospital, I will have you transferred and you will be sentenced when you are more able to understand the sentencing process.” <br><br>Chantelle, who has previously waived her anonymity, previously said she and her brother had a happy childhood, but didn't meet again until she was 18 and he was 28. <br><br>Speaking about their relationship in an interview with The Sun, she said: "I’d never even seen him until I was 18. But when we first met, it felt like we had known each other forever.<br><br>"We clicked straight away. I felt so comfortable around him. We’d go to the park, to the seaside, for walks. I loved having someone I could talk to who felt the same way as me."<br><br>Chantelle claims her brother Mark then began to develop feelings for her, which she initially tried to brush off. <br><br>But she slowly returned his feelings and they eventually shared a kiss. <br><br>However, their relationship was thrown into crisis after a tragedy in 2016, when their first child, a baby boy, was born prematurely and died at just one day old. <br><br>Chantelle told The Sun she was heartbroken by the tragedy, but that her brother helped her to get through the pain. <br><br>Speaking about how she discovered she was pregnant with their first child, she said: "I was so nervous telling Mark I was pregnant. I was scared he would get angry.<br><br>"But when I told him, he was over the moon - more excited than I was. We were at the doctor’s surgery having the pregnancy confirmed. <br><br>"Mark was practically bouncing up and down. He was beaming all over his face, delighted."<br><br>The couple then went on to have another baby boy, who was born at 18 weeks of pregnancy and lived for 40 minutes. <br><br>Their third child, a baby girl, was born in August. <br><br>NHS doctors diagnosed the couple's children with severe genetic deformities, which was believed to be caused by the fact that they had the same parents. <br><br>Chantelle said she and her brother had considered terminating the pregnancies after being told of the health risks, but that they had decided not to. <br><br>She said: "I’m not ashamed of our relationship, I’m not ashamed of our children.<br><br>"I know people won’t understand and they’ll call us sick. But we deserve to be happy like anyone else."
