21. It's a burden many a wife has had to bear...and perhaps that is why the legal protection.

What could she do? Run to the police...Not. They would not have believed her if she was not divorcing him, and if she was, there would be accusations of lying for financial/alimony gain.

Confront him? Pedos are not nice people. Anyone who has been in or professionally involved in the family cavern of domestic abuse of any kind, let along pedophilia, knows that often "reporting" leads to just a greater level of "cover-up" and often the shaming of the one who reports. Even the staff at Penn State was hamstrung...pretty much for the same reason.

Don't blame the wife...please. I imagine she has felt like she lived in a grave for a long time.
