Laniet Bain was not 'having an incestuous relationship with her father'. Robin Bain was raping his daughter.
It's not that hard.

PS Why are you even talking about this? If she was alive she would have name suppression. Why isn't their a course on reporting on sexual violence with respect and accuracy in journalism school?

Not sure why their isn't a course their.
Thank you for blogging that. It has been making me angry for weeks. Do you know if anyone has contacted RNZ regarding this gross misrepresentation?
Whenever they say 'incestuous relationship' my blood boils and I have to rant about it to anyone who will listen.
They are reporting the rapes because David Bain's defence are arguing that possible dislclosure of Robin Bain's sexual abuse of his daughter provides him with motive for killing his family.
So I actually think it is okay for media reports to include this information, but I think they should present it in the correct way.
