A West Virginia man has avoided jail time after being indicted for raping his 11-year-old daughter, impregnating her at age 12, and arranging for the young girl to have an abortion.

“The indictment charged Michael Joe Adkins with incest, first-degree sexual assault and sexual abuse by a parent for alleged intercourse with his daughter, which impregnated the girl as the sexual activity continued after she became 12,” reports Life News. “He and the girl’s stepmother, Amanda Rea Adkins, also faced counts of child neglect creating risk of injury and conspiracy as part of an abortion and subsequent procedure aimed at covering up the alleged incest.”
