**Cops swoop on infamous Colt 'incest' clan**

Six years after stories of alleged neglect, incest and pedophilia on a NSW farm shocked the world, eight members of the infamous "Colt" clan have been arrested at remote properties in three states.

The family matriarch, Betty Colt, was flown into Sydney on Friday evening after NSW Police successfully sought the extradition of all six interstate suspects.

They were arrested on Thursday at the same time as a man and a woman were nabbed in Griffith, in the NSW Riverina region.
About 40 members of the clan were discovered living in squalor on a rural property near Yass in 2012.

The children had speech difficulties, bad hygiene, slept in tents and later told caseworkers they had had sex with their siblings and relatives, including brothers and uncles, a NSW court would later hear.

Genetic testing suggested 11 of the 12 children, aged between five and 15, had parents who were related.

Family members were given pseudonyms by the courts including the surname "Colt" as the children were taken into state care.

Older article for reference:

 was a discovery that shocked the world — four generations of incestuous activity in a secret bush camp in the hills behind the tiny town of Boorowa.
A family of 38 adults and children were found living among incestuous relationships in filthy conditions without electricity, toilets or town plumbing.
Some of the children had stunted speech and misshapen features, and all slept in caravans, tents and tin sheds.
DNA testing would prove that 11 of the children in the camp were the product of a sexual relationship by their mothers with either a brother, father or other close male relative.

NEW SOUTH WALES
CLAN’S INCEST RAPE ‘NO SECRET’, JUDGE TOLD

Incestuous rape was "not a secret" in the infamous Colt family with a 17-year-old allegedly sexually assaulted by her uncle told to keep her mouth shut, a judge has been told.

Frank Colt, a pseudonym, is facing a judge-alone trial in the Sydney District Court eight years after authorities discovered about 40 members of the clan living in squalor on a rural property in NSW.

The 50-year-old has pleaded not guilty to raping his then-17-year-old niece, Petra, in the back of his car in February 2010.

The court heard that the two - like many others in the family - shared the same father.

"I tried to fight him off but he wouldn't listen," Petra, also a pseudonym, told the court on Tuesday.

"I was kicking and punching him, pulling his hair."

The Crown alleges another uncle began sexually assaulting her when she was a child.

"This was not a secret in the family," crown prosecutor Katharine Jeffreys said.

"The complainant's parents knew and ... told her to keep her mouth shut."

The court heard a recording of Petra telling police in 2018 that she, Frank and her mother shared a biological father - Tim Colt.

Tim was also father to her mother's 11 other surviving children and all but one of her aunt's six children.

The family moved across the country on several occasions, staying in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia at times, Ms Jeffreys said.

"This family was a most unusual one.

"This was a large family that lived together in relatively isolated locations and the complainant didn't go to school."

After the death of patriarch Tim Colt in Western Australia in 2009, Ms Jeffreys said the family spent 18 months at the rural property in NSW where the alleged sexual assault occurred.

Caravans and tents were the living quarters and no toilet or shower facilities were available.

Children spent the vast majority of their time on the property but some older adults including Frank would come and go, the court was told.

One night in February 2010, after Petra had a fight with her mother and went for a walk, she passed Frank's car.

"He grabbed me from behind and he threw me headfirst into the car," Petra said, detailing how she was held down as he forced her knees open.

The incident lasted 10 to 15 minutes before Frank threw her and her clothes out of the car and called her an "ungrateful bitch and a pig", Petra said.

Under cross-examination, the now-27-year-old said Tuesday was the first time she'd mentioned the specific slurs.

The court heard Petra told Victorian police in 2013 she was living in "a cult" only to retract it later before NSW detectives.

"I live in a cult, I never went to school," she told police during a visit alone to Swan Hill.

"All my aunts, uncles, cousins have all been sleeping together."

But after she returned home to Orange in NSW, she told police there she hadn't been in her "right mind" and had been "high on OxyContin".

Petra on Tuesday said she didn't recall withdrawing her original statement.

"No, I didn't say that," she said.

She denied making up the allegation that Frank raped her.

In August 2018, three years after breaking away from her family, she told police Frank raped her.

The trial resumes on Wednesday.

August 2020 :

A member of the incestuous Colt clan denies sexually assaulting his young daughter on the family farm more than seven years ago.

The 47-year-old man, known by pseudonym Charlie Colt, faced Sydney's Downing Centre District Court via video link on Monday and pleaded not guilty to sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 10 and indecent assault of a person under 16 between 2010 and 2012.

The court heard a 2012 police interview in which the complainant, now 14, said Colt took a 'small, skinny stick' from a gun bag kept inside his tent and sexually assaulted her with it.

‘I screamed really loud because it hurt,' the then-six-year-old said in the video.

'He didn't say anything ... just laughed.'

The girl, whose mother is Colt's biological sister, later told police said she couldn't remember the incident.

But in a further interview in 2019, the teenager said she was 'embarrassed' to admit to the incident on a video that might be later played in front of a jury.

'I was embarrassed because there was going to be a jury - I didn't feel comfortable to admit it,' she said.

Colt has never previously been convicted of a crime, the court heard.

The Colt clan came to prominence in the early 2010s after police uncovered about 40 members of the family living in an uninsulated shed, old caravans and tents on a NSW bush block.

A dozen children found on the property were placed into state care in 2013 by a children's court, which heard genetic evidence showed all but one of the children were the product of incest.

The trial without a jury continues before Judge Kate Traill on Tuesday.

Yes you can find lots of the Salt family members by looking at posts, friends and comments. Many comments are just “call me.”

Several things...it seems a majority of thr fb accounts only have a small amount of friends, mostly relatives. Most of them haven't posted, that I can see since 2017/2018. The ones I saw didn't have physical abnormalities.

We have families like this in the US, as well. There's a story on YouTube about one family, for sure. The town protects them. There are many I'm sure. Especially in the hills.

While I don't agree with what they did, I believe alot of factors played into it. Poverty being one. Seems most of the known ones have been VERY impoverished. I think they are shunned by their peers and community and find "love and solace" within. No one else wanted them, kind of thing. Of course, the further dish the line it gets, the more abnormalities there are just reinforcing this behavior. Plus, it gets to be "normal" for them. They know nothing else. Most are extremely isolated, living in shanties. Due to IQ etc they do not hold/can't hold jobs and it worsens their poverty. It's a very sad situation that happens more frequently than alot of people are aware.

Unless they cleaned up the area before the picture were taken, which I can't understand why or who would have. I didn't find their environment filthy or garbage strewn. They made it sound alot worse than it was. Was it the Taj Mahal, no, but it wasn't filthy either. Actually seemed organized and not cluttered. Beds made etc.

It's really sad and I'm sure it had been going on for many generations before this. The ones it started with are long since gone.

Just like how they dropped the case of the younger brother abusing the sister because he had been abused himself.

I agree that it will and probably has continued. They really know no other life. It's what is familiar, what they know.

Are they in jail now or what was the outcome?

Unless they cleaned up the area before the picture were taken, which I can't understand why or who would have. I didn't find their environment filthy or garbage strewn. They made it sound alot worse than it was. Was it the Taj Mahal, no, but it wasn't filthy either. Actually seemed organized and not cluttered. Beds made etc.

It's really sad and I'm sure it had been going on for many generations before this. The ones it started with are long since gone.

Just like how they dropped the case of the younger brother abusing the sister because he had been abused himself.

I agree that it will and probably has continued. They really know no other life. It's what is familiar, what they know.

Are they in jail now or what was the outcome?

I agree with a lot of the stuff you say about isolation leading to further isolation etc. It must be so hard to rehabilitate people that live and grow up in this type of environment. Breaking down someone’s entire life system and rebuilding what they see as ‘normal’ is some undertaking.

And....argh, there’s definitely some unusual physical traits there. Not necessarily things you’d make a big deal about in one person but definitely things you’d notice replicated across members of the same family. I feel rotten for saying it but it’s true.
