Prosecutors have charged a Springfield man with incest after an infant was found to have a type of cancer that is caused when the parents have similar genetics.
According to a probable cause statement, Steven DeMaranville, 36, impregnated a relative, and because that woman was younger than 17, he faces statutory rape and sodomy charges, in addition to incest. All three are felonies...
Police say the mother, now 17, admitted that DeMaranville was the father... Police say the teen has an IQ of 67 and might not "comprehend the severity of the situation."
