Nothing new here, but worth the revisiting. The story of Travis Taylor Frey and his wife was posted on TheSmokingGun.com in 2006, with the emphasis on a bizarre “contract of wifely expectations.” I won’t steal another site’s content, so you can find the document itself here. It’s pretty appalling. A jury of eleven men and one woman found him guilty of third-degree sex abuse and domestic assault. He was sentenced to ten years in prison with the ultimate term depending on his progress in sex offender and batterer rehab programs.

I followed up on some loose ends with TheSmokingGun’s story … i.e. Frey appealed his conviction, but an appellate court affirmed the conviction. Further, there was a mention of child pornography on Frey’s computer, for which he was sentenced to an additional five years in prison.

My guess is that you can’t top this story, although you undoubtedly know of stories in which the outcome for the victim was much worse.
