An Oamaru man who got his daughter pregnant has been granted parole after saying he no longer blamed her for their sexual relationship. The man in his 50s — whose name is permanently suppressed — was jailed for three years, four months on three charges of incest when he appeared in the Dunedin District Court in late 2018. But at a Parole Board hearing last month, the man now accepted he was the one at fault. The Parole Board heard the man was still regularly in contact with three of his children, though they had not visited him during his incarceration. He would need the close attention of his probation officer, Judge Mather said.
