Deformed inbred children of chilling incest cult unable to speak or see
The revelation of a grotesque incest cult hidden within the confines of a family home sent shockwaves through those who uncovered the grim reality.
A nightmarish incestuous ring, initiated by two great-great grandparents in an isolated farming valley, was exposed, having eluded the public eye for years.
Their progeny were found in a state of severe disability, unable to communicate or see, as a result of relentless inbreeding. Social services were appalled when they stumbled upon 38 individuals living in filth, all blood relatives.
The children, subjected to extreme abuse, were so disabled that they couldn't even speak. After being placed in foster care, their adoptive families observed disturbingly sexualised behaviour.
In a chilling twist, one of the parents later shared a post on Facebook with the sickening caption "Love Makes a Family", as reported by the New Zealand Herald, reports the Mirror US.
The nightmare for the Colts, a pseudonym assigned by the court, began with June and Tim's marriage in New Zealand in 1966 before they moved to Australia. They had seven children, with Martha being the youngest. Every member of thr group of 38 was related by blood (Image:
Each of the 38 children in the group endured prolonged sexual abuse at the hands of siblings, cousins, fathers, an uncle, and a grandfather, spanning four generations.
The Colt family first attracted official scrutiny in June 2010. Over the following two years, authorities filed seven "risk of significant harm reports" primarily concerning neglect, medical neglect, and truancy issues.
In 2010, social services finally gained access to the makeshift camp where the family resided. The place lacked basic amenities like running water and toilets.
The children were unable to comb their hair, didn't know how to use toilet paper, couldn't brush their teeth, and ate with their hands.
The caravan's cooking facilities were covered in grime, vegetables were left to rot in the fridge, and the bed sheets seemed to be stained with dirt. A kangaroo was found sleeping on one of the children's beds.
Many of the children displayed visible deformities, with misaligned eyes, low-set ears, and appearing decades older than their actual age. Only Rhonda's five year old daughter was discovered not to have been fathered by a blood relative.

Despite genetic testing proving otherwise, Betty, Martha, and Raylene all deny that their children are products of incest.
Three of the girls, aged seven, eight, and nine, claimed their uncle, Charlie Colt, who lived on the property when the children were taken away, was also their father. The nine year old also alleged that Charlie Colt had sexual relations with her.
It's thought the family patriarch, Timothy Colt, who passed away in 2009, fathered children with one of his daughters and one of his granddaughters.
Five of the boys who were removed also confessed to torturing animals on the farm, including puppies and cats. They also admitted to mutilating the genitals of animals.
Initially, the family heeded a request from social services in June 2012 to better their living conditions, but by July, police had to remove 12 children, all cousins aged between five and 15 years, after it was determined they were at risk of harm if they stayed at the property.
The children who were taken away will stay in care until they turn 18. This case came into the public eye when the children's court of New South Wales decided to make its judgment in the case public.
In 2021, during the trials of other members of the Colt family, evidence suggested that Martha's father, Tim Colt, might also be the father of his daughter Betty's 13 children. Tim moved to Australia in 1966 (Image:
Martha, who was known to share a "marital bed" with her brother Charlie, had five children with him. The trial for Martha heard that her children were likely fathered by Charlie, her own father Tim, and another brother.
Three family members, Roderick, Martha, and Derek Colt, lodged intentions to appeal in 2020, but these have since lapsed. Out of the 80 original charges against eight Colts – which included incest, child sexual abuse, indecency against a child, and perjury – many were dropped.
Charlie Colt, initially facing 27 charges, was cleared of two charges and acquitted, with the remaining charges withdrawn. However, his brother Roderick was convicted of raping his niece and half-sister Petra.
During his trial, it was revealed Petra was actually his half-sister, as she was the offspring of Roderick's sister Betty and their father Tim.
Despite all eight family members being locked up following their 2018 arrest, only four have since been handed prison sentences.
Martha, along with her elder sisters Betty and Rhonda, and Betty's daughter Raylene, faced charges for fibbing about the paternity of their children. In a 2018 Facebook post, Betty Colt shared a snap of herself with two female kin, emblazoned with the words "Love Makes a Family".
Rhonda was slapped with a 14-month intensive corrections order (ICO) for perjury, which came to an end in 2021. Raylene also received a 16-month ICO for perjury, which likewise concluded in 2021.
Betty was found guilty on four counts of perjury, one count of lying under oath, and one count of perverting the course of justice, resulting in a 14-month stint behind bars.
Her maximum sentence of two years and four months is set to expire in August. Martha, the youngest of the sisters, admitted to five counts of perjury and one count of making a false statement under oath.
