A woman who said she was forced to aid her husband in his rapes of two of their children was sentenced Monday to 110 years to life for her role in the crimes.
The victims of the rapes were her son, now 18, and one of the couple's daughters, now 10. The Denver Post is withholding the parents' names to protect the children's identities.
The woman, 40, said her husband repeatedly told her that if she and the children left, he'd kill all three of them.
But Denver District Judge Herbert Stern told her Monday that she had a duty to leave.
"I think you are the victim of horrific domestic violence, but I don't think it absolves your responsibility to protect your children and yourself," Stern said.
