A popular Columbia professor was charged Thursday with incest - accused of a sick sex relationship with a female relative, prosecutors said.
Political science Prof. David Epstein, 46, bedded the young woman over a three-year period ending last year, according to court papers.
He was arraigned before a Manhattan judge on a single felony incest count.
"We ask that everyone remember that he is innocent until proven otherwise and that these allegations are nothing more than allegations," said Epstein's defense lawyer Matthew Galluzzo.
University spokesman Robert Hornsby said that Epstein "is now on administrative leave and will not be teaching students."
Epstein, who specializes in American politics and voting rights, has taught at Harvard and Stanford and often is quoted by news organizations. He also has blogged on The Huffington Post.
Sources said the victim was over 18 when the relationship began in 2006 and that the two often exchanged twisted text messages.
Epstein faces up to four years behind bars if convicted.
He was released on his own recognizance.

Both over 18? Whose business is it if they want to walk on the wild side? They don't seem to be hurting anyone.

The Bible says modern people are the result of incestuous relations Cain and his brothers had with their sisters.

There are puns all over the Biblical text. One group of people are called Moabites, which is derived from Moav, which is Hebrew for From (Meh) Father (Av). In other words, the entire groups is descended from incestuous sex with dad. It's a hysterical swipe at a rival group's lineage, lost if you don't know the Hebrew.

I do not know Hebrew so of course I am lost. My grandmother and I was discussing this very subject the other day and Cain's wife's name was Lilth. We just couldn't find it in the Bible where she came from. Thanks man!

What a shocker! Huffington, Professor, Political Science,
Now all of a sudden they want the Constitution to protect them,
"We ask that everyone remember that he is innocent until proven otherwise and that these allegations are nothing more than allegations,"
