How ‘world’s most inbred family’ The Colt Clan were caught after child’s shocking playground admission to pal

NESTLED under the cover of the Australian Outback, the Colt clan's warped family traditions were tucked away from society for decades.

The brood earned the grisly title of the "world's most inbred family" following four generations of inbreeding while living in isolation.

Perverted patriarch Tim Colt ran an "incest" farm where he raped his daughters with his sons and fathered their children.

He and his wife June, who was also a product of incest, shared seven kids – Martha, Frank, Paula, Cherry, Rhonda, Betty, and Charlie.

The women each birthed their own offspring – likely fathered by their own father and brothers, adding more members to the barbarous brood.

Tim allegedly parented his daughter Betty's 13 children, four of Rhonda's offspring, and even his granddaughter Raylene's child, Kimberly.

THE CULMINATION OF THE COLT'S

Brother and sister Martha and Charlie, who openly shared a "marital bed", were the first to be detained in the swoop.

Their siblings Rhonda and Frank, Betty's children Derek and Raylene, as well as Frank's son Cliff were then arrested.

All of the Colt children were removed and placed in care, as a horrified court ruled there was "no realistic possibility of restoration of any of the children to their biological family".

Three of the late Tim Colt’s daughters have been dragged through court trials, assaulted in prison, and ostracised in communities due to their inbred children – the products of rape and sexual relations with their own father and siblings.

In one Colt trial, Tim Colt's son Roderick was found guilty of raping his niece, who was also his half-sister.

The victim, Petra, was the biological child of Tim and Betty and was also attacked by her uncle Frank in the back seat of his car during a visit to the family farm in February 2010, for which he was convicted.

Betty was given 14 months in jail after being convicted of four counts of perjury, one of lying under oath and perverting the course of justice.

She later received another 12-month sentence after trying to kidnap two of her sons from their foster parents.

Betty was also forbidden from contacting other Colt family members, after she attempted to get in touch with them via Facebook.

Rhonda received a 14-month intensive corrections order which expired in August 2021, according to reports.

Raylene was sentenced to a 16-month ICO for perjury while her brother Derek received a maximum of three years and ten months for incest in 2020.

Charlie Colt – who originally faced 27 charges – was found not guilty on two charges and acquitted, with the balance being withdrawn.

Of the original 80 charges originally levelled against eight Colts – including incest, child sexual abuse, indecency against a child and perjury – many were dropped.
