Do spouses of pedophiles 'know'?

[undeterred]

9. Sometimes the spouse is being victimized too.

I had a friend who was sexually abused as a toddler. She did not have memories of it until she was an adult. When she spoke to her mother the truth came out: The father was visiting prostitutes and the wife did not know. She had repeated pelvic infections that ultimately led to a hysterectomy after only one child. His wife refused him sexually. He evidently turned to his own two year old daughter for sex and infected her also. The mother did not catch on until the child became sick. The abuse eventually stopped and they stayed married.

At her wedding her father accidentally referred to her as his bride. I couldn't believe she even allowed him there.

Her father was totally warped and I don't think her mother knew how far from normal he was.
