Oz father sexually abuses twins

A man has been charged in Australia with sexually abusing twins he fathered with a Thai surrogate, reports and children’s organisations said on Tuesday. The case is the second in as many months to ignite debate about commercial surrogacy, after another Australian couple left a surrogate baby which was born with Down’s syndrome in Thailand.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said that in the latest case the Thai mother, Siriwan Nitichad, had agreed to carry a child for a man and his wife who had not been able to conceive.
