Do spouses of pedophiles 'know'?

[Happyhippychick]

5. The strongest psychological defense is denial. You can "know" but still not "know".

I know, clear as mud! There are levels of knowing something, those who are capable of denial do so by rationalizing away the evidence. You are correct, her use of the words "conniving" and "clingy" are strange and confirm that she did witness things but explained it away by condemning the character of the children.

I firmly believe that if she knew on any level, denial aside, she should get the same prison sentence as her husband.
