Satin Doll gave more information on another thread. As I had suspected the relationship started when Newt was just sixteen. In some state she would be in jail. Newt married her when she got pregnant....
Any thing to add SD.?
Look up second wife’s FBI file. The only reason she wasn’t charged appears to be because of her husband’s position. File said she had “mental issues” Hmmmm Did he stay with her so his insurance would pay for her treatment?
It was about this time that he too got some help IIRC.
Satin Doll is right on top of the issues! Some of these folks against Newt would be better suited in times centuries ago, in Salem Massachusetts.
