“A third brother from the same Muskegon family faces a child pornography charge — and, in his case, charges of repeatedly sexually molesting a little girl in the family home where all three men lived. Luke Morris Abbey, 42, … was arraigned Friday in two separate felony cases. In one, he is charged with one count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person younger than 13. The first-degree count is punishable by up to life in prison, the second-degree by up to 15 years. In the second case, Abbey is charged with possession of child sexually abusive material and with using a computer to commit that crime. Both are four-year felonies. He is the twin brother of Lee William Abbey, who was charged last month with possessing child porn on his computer… Their brother Mark Edwin Abbey, who turns 51 Friday, is lodged at Michigan’s St. Louis Correctional Facility. He was sentenced July 7 to prison for up to 40 years after pleading no contest to manufacturing child pornography, possessing child pornography, accosting a child for immoral purposes and third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a child between the ages of 13-15. The victim in the Mark Abbey case was not the same as alleged in the Luke Abbey charges.” — Muskegon Chronicle (US)

One does indeed wonder. If the eyes are the window to the soul, you might obtain an answer by scrutinizing this picture of Luke Abbey. The guy appears to be doing his best to channel Charles Manson. A little more facial hair and the resemblance would be uncanny.

It was only a month ago that there was a case in which both a father and his adult son were arrested for possession of child pornography. Now these three brothers have been arrested for a variety of pedophiliac crimes that includes, in two cases, actual abuse. Is this a trend? A coincidence? Probably it’s a little bit of both. The larger trend is that the internet has made copious amounts of child pornography readily available online. If you performed random searches on computer equipment owned by adult males — these three, incidentally, all lived with their mother — you’d probably come up with a surprising number of positive results: coworkers secretly downloading the same porn in adjacent cubicles, brothers hiding their kiddie flicks from each other, lovers fucking each other but daydreaming of the pedo stimuli lurking on their respective hard drives…

Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this case is not only that all three brothers were pedophiles, but that the twins were apparently interested in girls but the other brother was into boys. (The non-twin was arrested for taking pictures of young boys.) Researchers have looked at the incidence of homosexuality among twins as a way of understanding the biological basis of sexual orientation. What would they make of these three brothers? If one twin is a pedophile, what are the odds that the other will be? If two brothers are into little girls, what are the odds that another brother will lust after little boys? It almost makes a student of perversion fantasize about pedophile triplets…
