I remember this very disturbing story from all those decades ago.

I feel very badly for the children they had together and for him, as he was a victim of abuse.

It was so crazy and they just divorced a few years ago. I know this will seem offensive to some, but I always saw pain in her soul too.

I think until her arrest and the story went world wide, people in general didn't think women could for would sexually abuse children.

I think she should have been in jail for many more years than she got. She was one sick, twisted woman. It's terrible to think how she ruined that boys life.

I didn’t even know they split up. She did have a troubled and eerie personality.

I just saw this on Facebook. I remember following the story until she was locked up and then married. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.

I'm trying to find some sympathy for her but can't.

As a kid I knew about this story, but the gravity of what she did didn't hit home until reading about it again as a mother.

My son is going into sixth grade and he's a baby! He still sleeps with his stuffed dinosaur and the light on in his closet. I mean, maybe the child she was attracted to may have been a touch more mature, but even the most mature 12 year old is still 12!!
