Thirteen adults from the notorious clan were jailed after being found guilty of on 100 incest charges
A dad in charge of "hillbilly sex ring" handed over his children to family members for sex in exchange for cigarettes or beer. William Goler and his relatives had been having incestuous relationships for over 100 years and saw it as a way of life, authorities in Canada discovered.
Their story mirrors that of the Colts - dubbed the world's most inbred family - in which patriarch Tim Colt an "incest" farm in Australia where he raped his daughters with his sons and fathered their children. The Goler clan’s sordid secret was revealed when one of William's children went to one of her teachers sobbing and described what happened to her in 1984.
“The first time I can remember I was five, just going on six, because I had just graduated from Kindergarten going into grade one,” she said. “I came home and that was the first time I had been raped and it was by my father. If somebody wanted to have sex with one of his kids he would let them for a case of beer or a carton of cigarettes, or even a pack of cigarettes.
The court was told that all of the defendants had themselves been sexually abused as children. But it didn’t end there and incredibly it was found that incest had been a way of life for generation, as Acadia University sociologist Jim Sacouman testified. Another family member, Charlie Goler Jr, was jailed for two years for having sex with an underage cousin. Cranswick Goler received six years and nine months for buggery with a 12-year-old male cousin and his sisters, Josie and Mary, 12 months for sexual assault.
