Mother Forced To Pay Spousal Support To Man Who Raped Daughter [View all]

Mother Forced To Pay Spousal Support To Man Who Raped Daughter

CORONA (CBSLA.com) — A mother who was forced to pay spousal support to the ex-husband who was convicted of raping her daughter is speaking out to CBS2.

“Every time I wrote that check, I cried because I felt like I was paying the man that raped my daughter,” Carol Abar told CBS2′s Andrea Fujii.

Carol married Ed Abar in 1991, when her daughter, who wishes to remain unidentified, was 9 years old.

Carol’s daughter said Abar abused and raped her for 16 years before she told her mother.

...

“The judge told me I had no proof. It was my word against him,” said Carol. “He had been raping her since she was little. Since I got married to him.”
