- Police hunt for 25-year-old Alabama man convicted of incest with his mother who skipped court date
By Daily Mail Reporter

An Alabama man convicted of having sex with his mother is missing after he failed to show up to a sentencing hearing.
Police in Marshall County, Alabama are searching for Gary Dean Helms Jr., 25, who is facing a prison sentence of up to 10 years for charges of incest, to which he pleaded guilty last year.
He was initially charged with rape in the incident, which happened in 2006.
Police said at the time that Helms forcibly raped his mother, Vickie Helms, while she was intoxicated and passed out on the couch of their trailer park home.
Police reports indicated that Helms, who was 19 at the time, raped his mother in retaliation against his brother for a fight over a girl.
The mother apparently woke up at the time of the attack and the report states that she 'tried to get away, but he held her down until he was finished.'
Police were summoned to the Helms' home in Albertville, Alabama - a tiny town of roughly 25,000 people located in the Northeast region of the state - and Helms was placed under arrest and charged with first-degree rape.
But Helms' mother later said the sex was consensual and that she forgave her son.
Helms was indicted in 2007 but the case was complicated by his mother's refusal to show up to testify in court.
At one point, authorities arrested Helms' mother in order to ensure she would be available to testify, according to prosecutors.
Anyone with information on Helms' whereabouts is being asked to contact Albertville police.

| As repulsive as I personally find incest, if it's consensual between adults, the government needs to keep out of it. This did, however, begin as a rape case. I have no problem prosecuting under that. Whatever happens after that shouldn’t be any different than if a “victim” who isn’t related to her “attacker” changes her mind. | |
