Officers learned of the alleged incest on Tuesday, when the girl’s • relatives called to complain of inap propriate contact between the 33-year-old father and his daughter, according to police. “I’m not sure how they found out, but they had some indication something was taking place,” Athens- Clarke police Lt. Greg Paul said. The girl’s mother didn’t know that her ex-husband was having sex with their daughter until a detective questioned the alleged vic tim, he said. “For the victim’s sake, we didn’t pry out too much, said Paul, who heads the Criminal Investigations Division’s domestic violence and sex crimes units. “Sometimes the emotional distress is too involved to be able to determine what happened, but through interviews, we learned enough about what was done to make the arrest based on her statements.” In sexual assault cases, Morris News Service does , not name the suspect if that information would reveal the victim’s identity. The girl’s father was charged with three counts of incest, and one count each of statutory rape, child moles tation and electronically fur nishing obscene material to minors, police said.

The guilty verdicts on both counts of second-degree cru elty to children were read in a hushed courtroom as Payne, clutching a snapshot of her children, watched in stunned silence. Judge Roger W. Dunaway Jr., who presided over the four-day trial, asked if she had any thing to say before being sentenced. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” she said in a barely audible voice. “And I loved those kids.” “I know you did,” Judge Dunaway replied.

Attacks begin the governor's race ATLANTA <AP) - Let the mudslinging begin. With one month left to go before the Nov. 7 general election, the attacks have begun in the race for governor. On Friday, Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor and the state Democratic Party ‘put U P their first television ad tak ing explicit aim at Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue. The spot accuses Perdue of using his office to get rich, citing his purchase . of Florida land near Disney World from a wealthy GOP developer and donor. “Using the Georgia gover nor’s office to make himself rich in Florida. That’s what Sonny did,” the ad says. The TV ad comes just after a mailer by Perdue, in which he lambasted Taylor for put ting “the interests of the radical homosexual lobby ahead of our Boy Scouts.” The mailer, first reported in the Atlanta Journal- Constitution, asserts that Taylor took a $5,000 donation from a group that promotes late-term abortions and has SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2006 been endorsed by “radical liberal figures” like U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney. The Perdue mailer arrived in mailboxes just days after Perdue began running a television advertisement saying he hoped the race for governor would be free from attack ads. In that ad, Perdue appears with his wife Mary and the family dog, Lucy. October 9»n, 2006 Acacia Jenkins *rFy;~i jr Candi Bitot, • Cheryl 8.
