I never advocated doing anything to Sandusky’s wife and in fact I said that if she knew about the abuse, she was possibly psychologically abused herself and did not feel that she had the right or the power to intervene.

The wife of Dugard (the one who held a kidnapped girl in his backyard in CA for years and even had two or three children with her) certainly knew about it, but she was incapable of complaining - when you see a picture of her, you can see that she was just a dishrag.

It’s true that there are some women who would actively participate in things like this if they felt it would please their man (the British serial killer couple, for example). But I think many of these women suspected it from the start and were really just heavily into denial by the time of trial. There may be some who are spectacularly oblivious, but I’d suspect that they are pretty few and far between.
