Incest is traditionally evaluated as the sexual relationship between family members who are close relatives. This case report presents the histories of two sisters who experienced sexual abuse by their father. Incest event had not manifested until the older girl got pregnant. We aimed to emphasize how much difficult is to determine incest event determined in due only course of pregnancy. The event was suffered in a town called Alpu in the province Eskisehir in western Turkey. In the event, it was claimed the biological father had experienced sexual abuse during 3–4 years with his daughters whose ages were 15 and 16. When DNA investigation comparative with the oldest daughter’ baby was performed, it was determined that the father had a baby from his daughter.
