Perhaps it went unreported for so long because she was hiding it for some time from even her husband. If he was jealous of an affair she had, perhaps she didn't want any more reasons to set him off and throw the affair up in her face, so she just left it alone as long as she could. Maybe she suspected him and maybe she didn't for a long portion of that time. 

 

This was his way of making her pay for the affair, and maybe over time he really ramped it up to where, whether she suspected him or not, she just couldn't let it go any longer.

Not in my neck of the woods.

 

Ex-husband maybe. But not someone you're married to and currently living with.


You act like you've never heard of dysfunctional people being married to each other.

I think the weirdest part is that she waited 10 years before she went to the police; she obviously wasn't afraid and she must have suspected it was her husband.  The husband had a lot of pent up anger over her affair; right or wrong, he released that anger by sending the emails.  He's a sick man who needs help, not jail.  She's only a "vicitim" because she got sick of his email foolishness and wanted out of the marriage.

10 years is a long time to wait! She had emails, they (the police) probably could have been easily traced back to the sender (the husband) much sooner had she done something sooner.
