DEAR ABBY: Many months ago, a family member’s husband was charged with possession of and distributing more than 10,000 items of child pornography. The police and Department of Homeland Security raided their home and seized computers, cellphones and other devices. He was arrested and spent about a week in jail. He hired a very good attorney, and all the charges were dismissed.
His wife, our blood relative, stayed by his side. She remains married to him and doesn’t plan to leave him. She has been keeping us up to date on the legal developments and says his attorneys believe he won’t serve any jail time because “he’s in his mid-70s and has no prior convictions of any crimes.”
Although the charges were dismissed, we are not comfortable having him in our homes because there are small children at our gatherings. It’s important to note that his wife never denied that he was viewing and distributing these materials. She only said, “They’re making him out to be a monster.”
