"Last December Columbia University Professor David Epstein was in the headlines. Not for his blog posts at the Huffington Post on issues ranging from torture to Sarah Palin, but rather for his arrest and charge of having participated in a three year sexual relationship with his 24-year-old daughter. The Columbia Spectator’s Jackie Carrero and Mikey Zhong have reported that despite pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge for attempted incest on May 10, Mr. Epstein will remain a Professor at the $40,000+ yearly tuition Ivy League university."
"Mr. Epstein taught at Columbia University along with his wife, a political science professor, and the two were featured in a 2008 Spectator article on professors who “bring love to work.” Manhattan District Attorney’s office criminal complaint in December read that “professor David Epstein’s incest was committed between July 2006 and June 2009 at University Apartment Housing..."
So where is the guy now? That article doesn't say he is on campus or anything so I'm just curious. I'm sure there is a bunch of "legalese" involved.
Here's a link to the Columbia Spectator Newspaper, which says he's still a professor there. Interesting to read the comments under the article (presumably from students?) where one person condones this incestuous behavior claiming it should be okay as long as its with 2 consenting adults. There's the slippery slope we're at!

He is still on the record as a professor, I was just curious if he was physically teaching there not. I imagine if he is that people have things to say to him that aren't too pleasant, which make me think he isn't.
Really, incest is against the law. Here in Arkansas it is away of life. Those dang liberal states wanting to out law everything. Nanny state.
